Question
- Assertion (A): In Young's double slit experiment all fringes are of equal width.
- Reason (R): The fringe width depends upon the wavelength of light (λ) used, the distance of the screen from the plane of slits (D) and slits separation (d).
Options

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

Solution
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.
