The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided: **Assertion**: The distance between the position of bright and dark fringes remains the same in Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE). **Reason**: Fringe width \( \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup of YDSE**: - In the Young's Double Slit Experiment, light passes through two closely spaced slits and creates an interference pattern on a screen. This pattern consists of alternating bright and dark fringes. 2. **Identifying Bright and Dark Fringes**: - Bright fringes (maxima) occur where constructive interference happens, and dark fringes (minima) occur where destructive interference happens. - The positions of these fringes can be calculated based on the path difference between the light waves coming from the two slits. 3. **Fringe Width Definition**: - The fringe width \( \beta \) is defined as the distance between two consecutive bright fringes (or two consecutive dark fringes). It is given by the formula: \[ \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] where: - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the light, - \( D \) is the distance from the slits to the screen, - \( d \) is the distance between the two slits. 4. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the distance between the positions of bright and dark fringes remains the same. This is true because the fringe width \( \beta \) is constant for a given setup (fixed \( \lambda \), \( D \), and \( d \)). - The distance between a bright fringe and the next dark fringe (or vice versa) is equal to \( \frac{\beta}{2} \), which remains constant. 5. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states the formula for fringe width \( \beta \). This formula is indeed correct and shows how fringe width is derived from the physical parameters of the experiment. - Since \( \beta \) does not depend on the order of the fringe (whether it is the first, second, etc.), the distances between the fringes remain consistent. 6. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true. The reason correctly explains why the assertion holds true. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
