Q35.2 In Young’s experiment, coherent light passing through two slits (S1 and S2) produces a pattern of dark and bright areas on a distant screen. If the wavelength of the light is increased, how does the pattern change? 1. the bright areas move closer together 2. the bright areas move farther apart 3. the spacing between bright areas remains the same, but the color changes 4. any of the above, depending on circumstances 5. none of the above
