STANDARD Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question
If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits in a Young's double slit experiment, then the:
linear separation of the fringes decreases
angular separation of the fringes increases
angular separation of the fringes decreases
linear separation of the fringes increases
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Moving the screen away increases the linear separation of the fringes because the fringe width is proportional to the distance between the screen and the slits.
