Angular Fringe Width

JEE Main asked Angular Fringe Width 2 times in 2 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2020 and 2022. It belongs to Young's Double Slit, in Wave Optics (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 2 years.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2020 and 2022. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.
