Question

Assertion (A) : In Young's double-slit experiment, the fringe width for dark and bright fringes is the same. Reason (R) : Fringe width is given by \[ \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}, \] where symbols have their usual meanings.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.

Hint:

In Young's double-slit experiment, \[ \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}. \] The spacing between consecutive bright fringes and consecutive dark fringes is always the same and equal to \(\beta\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
