Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In a Young’s double slit experiment, a student observes 8 fringes in a certain segment of screen when a monochromatic light of 600 nₘ wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to 400 nₘ, then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is:

A

9

B

12

C

6

D

8

Correct Answer

Option B
