If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light, then [NEET 2024]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
When YDSE is performed in white light instead of monochromatic light, all wavelengths show their maxima and minima in orders of their wavelength. At central point on screen, path difference is zero for all wavelengths. Thus a central bright fringe is observed along with few fringes that will be different colours.
