Choose the incorrect statements from the options given below: (A) If a monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light in Young's experiment, then interference fringes will be coloured, Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A) and (B) only (B) and (D) only (A) and (C) only (C) and (D) only |
(B) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B) and (D) only (A) Correct — White light produces coloured fringes due to superposition of multiple wavelengths. (B) Incorrect — Angular fringe width $\theta = \lambda / d$, independent of distance to screen. (C) Correct — Fringe width $\beta = \lambda D / d$, halving $d$ doubles $\beta$. (D) Incorrect — Fringe width formula: $\beta = \lambda D / d$, not $Ad/D$. Incorrect statements: (B), (D) |
