NEET Physics Young's Double Slit MCQ Question
Consider the following statements regarding Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE): 1. The interference pattern observed is due to the wave nature of light. 2. The distance between the slits affects the fringe width. 3. Young's experiment cannot demonstrate the principle of superposition. 4. The condition for bright fringes requires constructive interference between the two waves. Which of the following combinations of statements are correct?
1, 2, and 4
1 and 3 only
2 and 3 only
1, 3, and 4
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct as they relate to the wave nature of light, the relationship between slit distance and fringe width, and the condition for constructive interference in YDSE. Statement 3 is incorrect because Young's experiment indeed demonstrates the principle of superposition through interference.
