In Young’s double slit experiment an electron beam is used to form a fringe pattern instead of light. If speed of the electrons is increased then the fringe width will :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
On increasing speed of electron, de Broglie wavelength associated with it will decrease 
.
Since fringe width β = 
, it will decrease.
