Question

Bright and dark fringes are seen on a screen when light from a single source reaches two narrow slits a short distance apart. The number of fringes per unit length on the screen can be doubled:______.

a. if the distance between the slits is doubled.
b. if the wavelength is changed to λ = λ/2.
c. if the distance between the slits is quadruple the original distance and the wavelength is changed to λ = 2λ.
d. if any of the above occurs.
e. only if the width of the slits is changed to w = w/2

Answer 1

d. if any of the above occurs

Step-by-step explanation:

That is The number of fringes per unit length on the screen can be doubled if

if the distance between the slits is doubled.

if the wavelength is changed to λ = λ/2.

And if the distance between the slits is quadruple the original distance and the wavelength is changed to λ = 2λ
