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

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
