Question:

In an experiment to demonstrate interference of flight using Young's slits, separation of two slits is doubled. In order to maintain same spacing of fringes, distance D of screen from slits must be changed to

Options:

$D$

$\frac{D}{2}$

$2D$

$\frac{3D}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$2D$

Explanation:

$β=\frac{λD}{d}=\frac{λ(2d)}{2d}=β$

i.e., D' = 2D.
