In a double-slit experiment, when the wavelength of the light is increased, the interference pattern

 

 

Question 3 options:

 

spreads out.

 
stays the same.
 

disappears

The diagram illustrates the concept of electromagnetic wave emission from an antenna. It consists of a rectangular box on the left, representing an energy source or a transmitter. From this box, a straight line extends horizontally to the right, ending in a red rectangle. The red rectangle symbolizes an antenna or a point of transmission. From this rectangle, a wavy blue line emanates, curving in a sinusoidal pattern, representing electromagnetic waves being broadcast or emitted into the surrounding space.

The sinusoidal wave is indicative of the nature of electromagnetic radiation, which propagates through space in this wave-like manner, characterized by its wavelength and frequency. This diagram is a simplified representation often used to explain how antennas work to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic waves that can travel through the air to convey information or signals.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Spaceing between fringes is wavelength dependent. 

Spacing is directly proportional to the wavelength of light used. 

So if wavelength increases, then fringe width also will increase.
