In a young's double slit experiment, green light is incident on the two slits. The interference pattern is observed on a screen. Which of the following changes would cause the observed fringes to be more closely spaced?

A

Reducing the separation between the slits

B

Using blue light instead of green light

C

used red light instead of green light

D

Moving the light source futher away from the slits.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Fringes to be more closed when fringe width becoems reduced fringe width `beta=(lamdaD)/(d)`
As `lamda` decrease `beta` also decreases `(lamda_("blue")ltlamda_("green"))`
