In single slit experiment, the width of the slit is reduced. Then, the line width of the principal maxima
decreases but becomes less bright
increases but becomes less bright
decreases but becomes more bright
increases but becomes more bright
If the two slits in Young's double slit experiment are of unequal width, then
the dark fringes are not perfectly dark
the bright fringes will have unequal spacing
the bright fringes will have unequal brightness
the fringes do not appear

Wave theory of light explains the phenomenon of interference, differaction and velocity of light in a denser medium or rarer medium but this theory fails to explain the scattering of light.
White light reflected from a soap film (Refractive Index = 1.5) has a maxima at 600 nm and a minima at 450 nm with no minimum in between. Then the thickness of the film is

λ1 and λ2 are used to illuminate the slits. β1 and β2 are the corresponding fringe widths. The wavelength λ1 can produce photoelectric effect when incident on a metal. But the wavelength λ2 cannot produce photoelectric effect. The correct relation between β1 and β2 is
β1 < β2
β1 = β2
β1 > β2
β1 ≥ β2
