ii. Explain whether the Young’s experiment is an experiment for studying interference or diffraction effects of
light.

Q#3 a) Discuss Young’s double slit experiment and also derive the relation for the band width. 05
b) Calculate the wavelength of light, which illuminates two slits 0.5 mm apart and produces an
interference pattern on a screen, placed 200 cm away from the slits. The first bright fringe is
observed at a distance of 2.40 mm from the central bright image. 03
