How does the angular separation between fringes in single-slit diffraction experiment change when the distance of separation between the slit and screen is doubled?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Angular separation is `theta = beta/D = (D lamda/d)/(D) = lamda/d`
Since `theta` is independent of D, angular separation would remain same .
