उत्तर
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
Bright and dark fringes are produced as light travels through a slit in Young's double-slit experiment. Both the black and brilliant fringes are the same width as YDSE.
Statement 2 explanation: White light is used in Young's double-slit studies, and it is directed through the slit. Therefore, only brilliant and dark fringes may be seen utilising this source.
We know that fringe width is given by,
Width = `(lambdaD)/d`
Where,
λ = Wavelength of source used.
D = Distance between screen and slit.
d = Distance between slits.
As fringe width depends on all these factors so the fringe width remains constant.
