    If yellow light in the Youngs double slit experiment is replaced by red light the fringe width will:

    A)  increase

    B)  decrease

    C)  remain unaffected

    D)  first increase and then decrease

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Using the relation for fringe width \[\beta =\frac{D\lambda }{2d}\]   hence,  \[\beta \propto \lambda \] Since,                    \[{{\lambda }_{red}}>{{\lambda }_{yellow}}\] Therefore using the red light in place of yellow light, fringe width will increase.
