    In Youngs double slit experiment, die separation between the slits is halved and the distance between the slit and screen is doubled, then the fringe width will:

    A)  remain same

    B)  be quadrupled

    C)  be doubled

    D)  be halved

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Here: Initial between two slits \[{{d}_{2}}=\frac{d}{2}\] Final distance between two slits \[{{d}_{2}}=\frac{d}{2}\] Initial distance between slit and screen \[{{D}_{1}}=D\] Final distance between slit and screen \[{{D}_{2}}=2D\] The relation for fringe width is given by \[B\propto \frac{D}{d}\] Force   \[\frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}=\frac{{{D}_{1}}}{{{D}_{2}}}\times \frac{{{d}_{2}}}{{{d}_{1}}}\] \[{{B}_{2}}=4{{B}_{1}}\] Therefore, the fringe width will be four times.
