Q
Equation for wavelength in young’s double slit experiment
A
λ =ax/ D
a = distance between 2 slits
x = distance to the maximum
D = distance between slits and screen
λ = wavelength of light

Q
State the principle of superposition of waves
A
When two or more waves overlap at a point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the vector sum of the displacements of the individual waves.
