Physics Question on Youngs double slit experiment
In Young's double slit experiment, an electron beam is used to produce interference fringes of width β1 . Now the electron beam is replaced by a beam of protons with the same experimental set-up and same speed. The fringe width obtained is β2 . The correct relation between β1 and β2 is
A
β1=β2
B
No fringes are formed
C
β1<β2
D
β1>β2
Answer
β1>β2
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is Option (D) : β1>β2
