(c) interference with dark bands
(d) interference in which width of the fringe will be slightly increased
5. Young’s double slit experiment is carried out by using green, red and blue light, one colour at a time. The
fringe widths recorded are βG , β R and β B . Then,
(a) β R > β B > βG (b) βG > β R > β B (c) β R > βG > β B (d) βG > β B > β R
II. True or False [1 Mark each]
6. When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses speed. The reduction in speed due to
reduction in energy carried by the refracted wave.
7. In Young’s double slit experiment, the fringes becomes indistinct, if one of the slits is covered with
cellophane paper.
