AIIMS 2017 Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question

In Young's double slit experiment, the position of the maxima is given by the formula $x = \frac{n \lambda D}{d}$, where $n$ is the order of the maxima, $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light, $D$ is the distance from the slits to the screen, and $d$ is the distance between the slits. Since the wavelength of blue light (4360 Å) is shorter than that of green light (5460 Å), the position of the 4th maxima for blue light will be closer to the central maximum compared to that for green light, leading to $x_{(blue)} < x_{(green)}$.

Option A is incorrect because the distances are not equal; option B is incorrect as blue light does not produce a greater distance; option D is incomplete and does not provide a direct comparison.
