    In Youngs double slit experiment, the slit width and the distance of slits from the screen both are doubled. The fringe width:

    A)  increases

    B)  decreases

    C)  remains unchanged

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Distance between two adjacent bright (or dark) fringes is called the fringe width. It is denoted by \[\beta \], thus,                 \[\beta =\frac{D\lambda }{d}\] where D is the distance between slit source and screen and d is separation of slits. Since, D and d are increased to same extent, so fringe width (w) will remain unchanged.
