A parallel beam of fast-moving electrons is incident normally on a narrow slit. A fluorescent screen is placed at a large distance from the slit. If the speed of the electrons is increased, then which of the following statements is correct?

(2) The angular width of the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will increase

(3) The angular width of the central maximum will decrease

(4) The angular width of the central maximum will be unaffected

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 3 mm and the slits are 2 m away from the screen one due to light with wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm.

4. $5\times {10}^{-4}$

Two coherent sources of light can be obtained by:
