Q184 / 225 · JEE Main 2005 · Physics

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

A
hyperbola
B
circle
Correct answer
C
straight line
D
parabola

Solution

Straight line Note: If instead of young's double slit experiment, young's double hole experiment was given shape would have been hyperbola.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
