← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when varying the slit separation in Young's experiment?
A)Fringe spacing changes inversely✓
B)Fringe visibility stays constant
C)Fringe intensity increases linearly
D)Fringe colour shifts to red
💡 Explanation
Increased slit separation causes the observed fringe spacing to decrease inversely, because the path difference for constructive interference changes. Therefore, fringe spacing narrows, rather than being unchanged or being affected in colour or intensity if wavelength or source intensity were varied.
