Question

A Young's double slit experiment uses a monochromatic source. The shape of the interference fringes formed on a screen is

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
Dstraight line

Step-by-step explanation

The interference fringes formed in a Young's double slit experiment are straight lines. These fringes are a result of the constructive and destructive interference of the light waves coming from the two slits, and they appear as alternating bright and dark straight bands or lines.

Hence, the answer is :

Option D : straight line.

Remember for double hole experiment a hyperbola is generated.
