Question
ASSERTION (A): In an interference pattern observed in Young's double slit experiment, if the separation (d) between coherent sources as well as the distance (D) of the screen from the coherent sources both are reduced to 1/3rd, then new fringe width remains the same.
REASON (R): Fringe width is proportional to (d/D).
Options
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A is false and R is also false
