Expert Solution
Step 1
Young’s double-slit experiment uses two coherent sources of light placed at a small distance apart, usually, only a few orders of magnitude greater than the wavelength of light is used. Young’s double-slit experiment helped in understanding the wave theory of light which is explained with the help of a diagram. A screen or photodetector is placed at a large distance ’D’ away from the slits as shown.
