MCQ
In Young's interference experiment, if the slits are of unequal width, then:
  • A
    No fringes will be formed
  • B
    The positions of minimum intensity will not be completely dark.
  • C
    Bright fringe as displaced from the original central position.
  • D
    Distance between two consecutive dark fringes will not be equal to the distance between two consecutive right fringes.

Answer

  1. 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.
