Young's double slit: fringe width β = λD/d. If d doubled, β becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Young's double slit: fringe width β = λD/d. If d doubled, β becomes:
A. Four times
B. Half
C. Same
D. Double
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
β ∝ 1/d. If d' = 2d, β' = β/2. Fringe width decreases with increased slit separation. Memory aid: 'β ∝ 1/d; wider slit separation ⇒ narrower fringes'. Wave optics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Electromagnetic induction basis for:
A. Transformer
B. Generator
C. Motor
D. Both (b) and (c)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Induction (changing flux ⇒ EMF): generators (motion ⇒ electricity), transformers (AC voltage conversion). Motors use reverse principle (force on current in field). Memory aid: 'Induction: generators, transformers; motors: Lorentz force'. Device principle frequently tested in competitive electromagnetism sections.
