Concept explainers
To Explain: The change in fringe pattern if red light is replaced by blue light.
Answer to Problem 6Q
The bright spots on screen are tightly packed together with the blue light as compared with red light.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:Young’s double-slit helps to understand the wave theory of light. For this it uses two coherent sources of the light.
It is known that
So, according to
Conclusion: Hence, for blue light, the bright spots will appear closer together.
