When A YDSE (young's double slit experiment) is performed with white light (multi-chromatic). will there be a dark band.

The double-slit experiment uses general purpose photons (white light), nevertheless if the photons were altered to a mono-chromatic form this would not change the particle nature of the photon only the wavelength properties, hence the wavelength has no bearing on the interference patterns of the wave effect.
Not to mention that the only real effect is wheather are not the particle/waves are observed before entering the slits.

A photon is a lot like a Democrat. It might go one way and might go the other, or might go both ways at once.
