In the Young’s double slit experiment, the distance between the slits varies in time as d(t)=  d0+a0  sin⁡ωtd(t) = \,\,{d_0} + {a_0}\,\,\sin \omega t
where d0  ,  ω{d_0}\,\,,\,\,\omega and a0{a_0} are constants. The difference between the largest fringe width and the smallest fringe
width obtained over time is given as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
2λDa0(d02−a02)\frac{{2\lambda D{a_0}}}{{\left( {d_0^2 - a_0^2} \right)}}
Option B is correct because the difference between the largest and smallest fringe widths is derived by considering the maximum and minimum values of the time-varying slit separation in Young's double-slit experiment.
