Question
In a Young′s double slit experiment with light of wavelength λ the separation of slits is d anddistance of screen is D such that D >> d >> λ. If the fringe width is β, the distance from point ofmaximum intensity to the point where intensity falls to half of maximum intensity on either side is:
Options
A.β/6
B.β/3
C.β/4
D.β/2
