Question:

In YDSE, the source of light is white light. One of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. Which of the following is correct about the phenomenon?:

Options:

alternate interference patterns of red and blue

an interference pattern for red distinct from that for blue

no interference fringes at all

an interference pattern for red mixing with that for blue.

Correct Answer:

no interference fringes at all

Explanation:

As in YDSE monochromatic light of wavelength λ is used. But here two different wavelengths are used which will not bring any interference fringes as the sources are incoherent.
