Solution

The correct option is A the wavelength of the source is increased
By Young's double slit experiment
Fringe width $β = \frac{D λ}{d}$
According to equation, the fringe width is directly proportional to $λ$ .
Thus fringe width of the pattern can be increased by increasing the wavelength of the source.

Q. What is the effect on the fringe width of interference fringes in a Young's double slit experiment due to each of the following operations.
(a) The screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
(b) The (monochromatic) source is replaced by another (monochromatic) source of shorter wavelength.
(c) The separation between the two slits is increased
(d) The width of two slits are slightly increased
(In each operation, take all parameters, other than the one specified to remain unchanged)

Q. In Young's double slit experiment, the slits are separated by

0.28 m m

and the screen is placed at a distance of

1.4 m

away from the slits. The distance between the central bright fringe and the fifth dark fringe is measured to be

1.35 c m

. Calculate the wavelength of the light used. Also find the fringe width if the screen is moved

0.4 m

towards the slits, for the same experimental setup.

Q. In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the slits is

0.15 mm

. In the experiment, a source of light of wavelength

589 nm

is used, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen kept

1.5 m

away. The separation between the successive bright fringes on the screen is:

Q. In Young's double slit experiment, fringes of certain width are produced on the screen kept at a certain distance from the slits. When the screen is moved away from the slits by

0.1

m, fringe width increase by

6 \times 10^{- 5} m

. The separation between the slits is 1 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light used.

Q. In a two slit experiment with monochromatic light fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits, If the screen is moved by

5 \times 10^{- 2}

m towards the slits, the change in fringe width is

3 \times 10^{- 5}

m. If separation between the slits is

10^{- 3}

m, the wavelength of light used is
