NEET 2023 Physics, question 24

Question 24 of the NEET 2023 paper (code G6) is a Physics question from Wave Optics. Its idea, Angular Fringe Width, was asked twice, in 2018 and 2023, across NEET 2017–2026. The NTA final answer key gives option 4.

Q24 · Physics

For Young's double slit experiment, two statements are given below:

Statement I : If screen is moved away from the plane of slits, angular separation of the fringes remains constant.

Statement II : If the monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of larger wavelength, the angular separation of fringes decreases.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. 1Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
  2. 2Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  3. 3Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
  4. 4Statement I is true but Statement II is false.Official answer
