Question 169: Wave Optics

Question

A Young's double slit experiment uses a monochromatic  source. The shape of the interference fringes formed on a screen is

Accepted Answer

The interference fringes formed in a Young's double slit experiment are straight lines. These fringes are a result of the constructive and destructive interference of the light waves coming from the two slits, and they appear as alternating bright and dark straight bands or lines.
Hence, the answer is :
Option D : straight line.
