Abstract
The spectral switch in Young´s two-slit experiment with partially coherent light is studied based on the propagation law of partially coherent light. It is shown that, by varying the source correlation, slit parameter and observation distance, the on-axis spectrum changes gradually, and the spectral switch can take place, where the spectral shift exhibits a rapid transition from red to blue shift or vice verse
