On which of the following factors angular fringe width does not depend? |
wavelength distance between slits ratio of wavelength and distance between slits distance between slits and screen |
distance between slits and screen |
The correct answer is Option (4) → distance between slits and screen Angular fringe width in Young's double-slit experiment is given by: $\theta = \frac{\lambda}{d}$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light and $d$ is the separation between the slits. Thus, angular fringe width depends on $\lambda$ and $d$, i.e., on the ratio $\lambda/d$. It does not depend on the distance between the slits and the screen. Answer: distance between slits and screen |
