Question

Assume that white light is provided by a single source in a double-slit experiment. Describe the interference pattern if one slit is covered with a red filter and the other slit is covered with a blue filter.
A)Interference is observed because the two waves have the same wavelengths.
B)Interference is observed because the two waves have different wavelengths.
C)No interference is observed because the two waves have the same wavelengths.
D)No interference is observed because the two waves have different wavelengths.

Answer 1

The answer to the given question above would be option D. If we assume that white light is provided by a single source in a double-slit experiment, the  interference pattern if one slit is covered with a red filter and the other slit is covered with a blue filter is that, no interference is observed because the two waves have different wavelengths. Hope this helps.
