In Young's double slit experiment, the separation d between the slits is 2 mm, the wavelength λ of the light used is 5896 Å and distance D between the screen and slits is 100 cm. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is 0.20°. To increase the fringe angular width to 0.21° (with same λ and D), the separa tion between the slits needs to be changed to:

In interference and diffraction, light energy is redistributed. If it reduces in one region (dark fringe), it increases in another region (bright fringe). A. As there is no net gain or loss of energy, these phenomena are consistent with the principle of conservation of energy. B. Diffraction and interference are characteristics exhibited only by light waves. Choose the correct option:

Two waves of intensity I and 4I produce a resultant intensity of 5I in an interference experiment. What is the phase difference between the two waves?
