Question

In Young's interference experiment, if the slits are of unequal width, then:

✓

Answer

The positions of minimum intensity will not be completely dark.

Explanation:
Unequal width of slits will cause unequal intensity of lights entering from both slits.
As a result, during interference complete cancelling of light intensity will not take place at regions of otherwise dark fringe.
As the value of $\beta$ does not depend on intensity of light, there will be no shifting of fringes as well as no change in fringe width.
