Alaser is shone through a double slit and a particular interference pattern is observed on a screen some distance away. if the separation between the openings is increased, the distance between the fringes willa. remain the sameb. increasesc. decreases

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to double split conditions. The equation describing this effect is given by

or

Where,

d= distance between slits

m = Any integer, representing the repetitions of the spectrum

If is small, then and the previous equation can be given as

Here,

L = Length from screen with slits

y = distance between fringes

From this last equation we can realize that if the separation between the openings (d) is increased, the distance between the fringes (y) will decrease.

Therfore the correct answer is C. Decreases.

what is the question because that is not a question.
