In Young’s double-slit experiment, lights of green, yellow, and orange colors are successively used. Write the fringe widths for the three colors in increasing order.(a) βG < βY < βO(b) βO < βY < βG(c) βO < βG < βY(d) βY < βG < βOThe question was posed to me during a job interview.This intriguing question comes from Wave Optics topic in chapter Wave Optics of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (b) βO < βY < βG

To explain: Fringe WIDTH is EXPRESSED as:

β = \(\FRAC {D\lambda }{d}\).

Since the wavelength are related as shown ➔ λG < λY < λO, we can say that ➔ βG < βY < βO.
