How would the angular separation of interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment change when the distance of separation between slits and screen is doubled ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Angular separation,
`theta = (beta)/(D) = (lambda)/(d)`
it does not depend upon `D`, the distance of separation between slits and screen. Therefore, `theta` remains unaffected.
