Question
In a Young's double slit experiment, green light is incident on the two slits. The interference pattern is observed on a screen. Which of the following changes would cause the observed fringes to be more closely spaced ?
- Reducing the separation between the slits
- Using blue light instead of green light
- Used red light instead of green light
- Moving the light source further away from the slits
The correct answer is: Using blue light instead of green light
