Question -20 [5]

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

In the year 1801, Thomas Young, a British scientist performed an experiment using monochromatic light
incident on two narrow, identical and rectangular slits. He obtained a series of alternate bride and dark
band called fringes. A German scientists, fraunhofer performed another experiment using only one
slit.He also got a series of alternate bride and dark fringes. Both these phenomenon could not be
explained by Corpuscular theory of light put forward by sir Isaac Newton. Hence,scientists had to apply
wave theory of light which was put forward by Christian Huygen,who was a contemporary of Newton.
