Question
If the separation between the slits in a Young's double slit experiment is increased, what happens to the fringe-width? If the separation is increased too much, will the fringe pattern remain detectable?
$\text{x}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}},$
where$\lambda$ = wavelength
x = fringe width D = distance between slits and screen d = separation between slits On increasing d, fringe width decreases. If the separation is increased too much, the fringes will merge with each other and the fringe pattern won't be detectable.Generate a complete, print-ready paper with questions like this in minutes — across 16+ boards, with answer keys.
