The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation described in the Young's double slit experiment with white light and colored filters. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: In a Young's double slit experiment, we typically have a coherent light source illuminating two slits. Here, the source is white light, which contains all colors of the spectrum. 2. **Applying Filters**: One slit is covered with a red filter, and the other with a blue filter. The red filter allows only red light to pass through, while the blue filter allows only blue light to pass through. 3. **Effect of Filters on Light**: When white light passes through the red filter, it becomes monochromatic red light. Similarly, white light passing through the blue filter becomes monochromatic blue light. 4. **Coherence Condition**: For interference patterns to be formed, the light sources from both slits must be coherent. This means they should have the same wavelength, frequency, and a constant phase difference. 5. **Analyzing the Wavelengths**: Red light and blue light have different wavelengths and frequencies. Red light has a longer wavelength compared to blue light, which means they do not meet the coherence condition. 6. **Conclusion on Interference**: Since the two sources (red and blue light) are not coherent, they cannot produce an interference pattern. Therefore, no interference fringes will be observed on the screen. 7. **Final Answer**: The correct conclusion is that there shall be no interference fringes.
