if the width of one slit is increased relative to the other the slit separation must decrease and since slit sep is inversely proportional to fringeseparationthe fringes become closer together.

AS we know fringe width x=WD/d.

W=wavelength,

D=distance of slits from screen , d=slit width.

as W=c/f

so x=cD/fd

if f is doubled so clearly fringe width becomes half..

Why do quantitative and qualitative analyses require a different monochromator slit width?

In quantitative analyses, we use wider slit width to let the slit more brightness, to improve the sensitive of detection. In qualitative analysis, we use narrow slit to get higher resolution, avoid other light influence and to detect the specific light wavelength.


How many ruling are there in a grating element?

Only one ruling will be there along with a slit in a grating element. The combined width of a ruling and a slit is called grating element.


Why must the slit width of a prism monochromator be varied to provide constant effective bandwidths but a nearly constant slit width provides cnstant bandwidth with a grating monochromator?

Prisms and gratings have different dispersive properties. Grating has a linear dispersion of wavelengths meaning the band on the focal plane varies linearly with the wavelength. Prisms are not linear, the shorter the wavelength the greater the dispersion. Thus, when a spectrum is being scanned, the dispersive device needs to rotates different amounts depending on whether it is prism or grating to focus light on the exit slit. If its grating, the slit width will need to be varied minimally; if it is a prism, the slit width will need larger changes as the dispersion gets greater.


Is the fresnel biprism experiment better than young's double slit experiment?

yes,because in fresnel biprism the fringe width can be increased so that the dark and bright fringes can be seen clearly by naked eyes..but there is no such problem in fresnel biprism.. in young's double slit experiment, the pattern is the superposition of interference and diffraction. but in fresnel biprism it is purely interference pattern.


When does the diffraction become appreciable?

What condition determines the point at which the first maximum on either side of the central maximum is located in a double-slit interference pattern?

The difference in paths from each slit to that point is a single wavelength.
