Question

Question 17 Which of the following best explains why the distance to the bright fringes increases with the order number? Higher-order bright fringes correspond to larger path differences, causing light waves to constructively interfere farther from the center. The slit separation increases for higher-order fringes, pushing fringes farther apart. The wavelength of light increases with fringe order, making fringes spread out. The screen distance decreases for higher orders, causing the fringes to move outward.
