Question
Consider the double slit experiment for light. Complete each statement as it would apply to Young's experiment (for each statement select "Increases", "Decreases", or "Cannot be Predicted"). If a variable is not mentioned, consider it to remain unchanged
1. For the fringe separation to remain unchanged, wavelength ..?.. while the distance to the screen decreases.
2.If the frequency of the light used decreases, fringe separation ...?...
3.If slit separation decreases and the distance to the screen decreases, fringe separation ...?...
4. If the wavelength of the light used increases, fringe separation ...?...
5. If the distance to the screen triples and slit separation doubles, fringe separation ...?...
6. If slit separation decreases, fringe separation ...?...
7.If the distance to the screen decreases, fringe separation ...?...
Explanation / Answer
For the fringe separation to remain unchanged, wavelength ..?..(decreases) while the distance to the screen increases.
If the frequency of the light used increases, fringe separation ...?...(decreases)
If the distance to the screen doubles and slit separation triples, fringe separation ..?...(decreases or multipled by 2/3)
If the wavelength of the light used increases, fringe separation ...?...(increases)
If the distance to the screen decreases, fringe separation ...?...(decreases)
If slit separation decreases, fringe separation ...?... (increases)
7.If the distance to the screen decreases, fringe separation ...?...(decreases)
