Young's double slit: fringe width β = λD/d. If d doubled, β becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Young's double slit: fringe width β = λD/d. If d doubled, β becomes:
A. Half
B. Four times
C. Double
D. Same
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
β ∝ 1/d. If d' = 2d, β' = β/2. Fringe width decreases with increased slit separation. Memory aid: 'β ∝ 1/d; wider slit separation ⇒ narrower fringes'. Wave optics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
A nucleus of mass number A and atomic number Z contains
A. Z protons and A neutrons
B. A-Z protons and Z neutrons
C. Z protons and A-Z neutrons
D. A protons and Z neutrons

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Mass number A = protons + neutrons. So neutrons = A - Z. Electrons = Z in neutral atom. Isotopes same Z, different N.
