Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • D
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.

In a double slit experiment,when the distance between slits is increased $10$ times,while their distance from the screen is halved,then the fringe width

In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. If a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from slit $A$,then:

Young's double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength $550 \, nm$. The separation between the slits is $1.10 \, mm$ and the screen is placed at a distance of $1 \, m$. What is the distance between consecutive bright or dark fringes in $mm$?

Two slits,$4 \, mm$ apart,are illuminated by light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$. What will be the fringe width on a screen placed $2 \, m$ from the slits in $mm$?
