If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
When we use white light in place of monochromatic light, the central fringe appears white, while the other fringes display different colours. This is because the central fringe for all colours is formed at central point, so it appears white after mixing up. As fringes of other colours fall at different positions, we see fringes of all colours on either side of the central bright fringe.
