Interference
 

Interference problem 23


Coherent monochromatic light illuminates two narrow parallel slits and the interference pattern that results is observed on a screen some distance beyond the slits. Which change increases the separation between the dark lines of the interference pattern?


  • using monochromatic light of higher frequency


  • using monochromatic light of a longer wavelength


  • decreasing the distance between the screen and the slits


  • increasing the distance between the slits
