The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the effect of increasing the velocity of electrons in a Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Fringe Width**: The fringe width (β) in a Young's Double Slit Experiment is given by the formula: \[ \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] where: - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the electrons, - \( D \) is the distance from the slits to the screen, - \( d \) is the slit width. 2. **Determine the Wavelength of Electrons**: According to de Broglie's hypothesis, the wavelength (λ) associated with a moving particle (like an electron) is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( p \) is the linear momentum of the electron. The momentum \( p \) can be expressed as: \[ p = mv \] where \( m \) is the mass of the electron and \( v \) is its velocity. 3. **Substituting the Wavelength into the Fringe Width Formula**: By substituting the expression for wavelength into the fringe width formula, we have: \[ \beta = \frac{h D}{mv d} \] 4. **Analyzing the Effect of Increasing Velocity**: From the formula \( \beta = \frac{h D}{mv d} \), we can see that if \( h \), \( D \), and \( d \) are constants, then fringe width (β) is inversely proportional to the velocity (v) of the electron: \[ \beta \propto \frac{1}{v} \] This indicates that as the velocity \( v \) increases, the fringe width \( \beta \) decreases. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when the velocity of the electron is increased, the fringe width decreases. The correct answer is that the fringe width decreases. ### Final Answer: As the velocity of the electron is increased, the fringe width decreases. ---
