Question 401: Wave Optics

Question

If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits in a Young's double slit experiment, then the :

Accepted Answer

In YDSE,
Separation between fringes is
Related to fringed width $$\beta  = {{D\lambda } \over d}$$
If D is increased $$\beta$$ increases while
Angular separation is independent of distance between slits and screen (D)
As angular separation $$ = {\beta  \over D} = {\lambda  \over d}$$

Answer

linear separation of the fringes decreases

Answer
