In Young's double-slit experiment the light emitted from the source has λ = 6.5 × 10–7 m and the distance between the two slits is 1 mm. The distance between the screen and slits is 1 metre. Distance between third dark and fifth bright fringe will be:


1. 3.2 mm 

2. 1.63 mm 

3. 0.585 mm 

4. 2.31 mm

In Young's double-slit experiment, the slit separation is doubled. This results in:

1. An increase in fringe intensity
2. A decrease in fringe intensity
3. Halving of the fringe spacing
4. Doubling of the fringe spacing
