alleryIn Young's double slit experiment, fringe width:
AD/d
Bλ d / D
Cλ D / d (where d = slit separation, D = screen distance)
Dλ D × d
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. λ D / d (where d = slit separation, D = screen distance)
β = λD/d.
Distance between consecutive bright (or dark) fringes.
Wider for longer wavelength or larger D, narrower for larger d.
