Question
What is the effect on the fringe width if the distance between the slits is reduced keeping other parameters same?
Advertisements
Solution
As we know that the fringe width is given by
β = λD/d
Hence, if the distance between the slits is reduced then the width of the fringes increases. In that case, fewer nodal regions are produced on the screen and the fringes will become wider but less in number.

In a Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron (1 micron = 10−6 m) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment.
