Question

What is the difference between interference patterns produced using monochromatic light and using white light in YDSE?

Answer 1

Answer:

06-Jun-2017 · Therefore if monochromatic light in Young's interference experiment is replaced by white light, then the waves of each wavelength form their separate interference patterns. The resultant effect of all these patterns is obtained on the screen. i.e., the waves of all colours reach at mid point M in same phase.
