Statement I: In Young's experiment, the fringe width for dark fringes is different from that of white fringes.
Statement II: In Young's doulbe-slit experiment, when the fringes are observed with a source of white light then only black and bright fringes are observed.

A

Statement I is True, statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is Ture, Statement II is Ture, Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
In Young's experiments, fringe width for dark and white fringes are same while in Young's double-slit experiment when a white ligth as a source is used, the central fringe is bright around which few coloured fringes are observed on either side.
