The correct answer is: narrower
In Young's double slit experiment if yellow light is replacedby blue light then the interference fringes will become
narrower.
We know fringe width is \( \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d} \)
\( \Rightarrow \beta \propto \lambda \)
Wavelength of yellow light \( > \) Wavelength of blue light
Therefore, fringe width will decrease.
