Question:

A beam of electron is used in Young's double slits experiment. The slit width is d. When velocity of electron is increased, then : 

Options:

No interference is observed

Fringe width increases

Fringe width decreases

Fringe width remains same

Correct Answer:

Fringe width decreases

Explanation:

$ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$

$\text{ As velocity is increased wavelength will decrease.}$

$\text{Fringe Width }\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

$\text{As wavelength decreases fringe width will also decrease.}$
