In Young's double slit experiment, if the separation between coherent sources is halved and the distance of the screen from the coherent sources is doubled, then the fringe width becomes :

1

double

2

half

3

four times

4

one-fourth

Step-by-Step Solution

Fringe width β=λDd\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}. Now, d′=d2d' = \frac{d}{2} and D′=2DD' = 2D. So, β′=λ(2D)d/2=4λDd=4β\beta' = \frac{\lambda(2D)}{d/2} = \frac{4\lambda D}{d} = 4\beta.
