If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

There will be a central bright white fringe surrounded by a few coloured fringes

Option B is correct. With white light, the central fringe is white because all colors interfere constructively. Colored fringes appear on either side due to different wavelengths interfering at different locations.
