In a Young's double slit experiment, the source is white light. One of the slits is covered by red filter and another by a green filter. In this case:

<p>When white light is used in Young's double slit experiment and one slit is covered by a red filter and the other by a green filter, several effects occur:</p> <p><p><strong>Different Fringe Widths</strong>: Each color will produce fringes of different widths due to their varying wavelengths. This means that red and green will not overlap perfectly.</p></p> <p><p><strong>Color Overlap</strong>: As the fringe patterns develop, some regions will have overlap due to the differing fringe spacings of red and green light. This overlap will create areas where the colors mix, potentially leading to an appearance of intermediate colors.</p></p> <p>Overall, because each color produces its own pattern and these do not align, a clear interference pattern as seen with monochromatic light (a single color) will not be formed. Instead, there will be a complex pattern where the fringes do not distinctly appear as solid bands of red or green due to the overlapping and different fringe widths.</p>
