### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Young's Double-Slit Experiment**: - In Young's double-slit experiment, two slits (A and B) are illuminated by a coherent light source, creating an interference pattern on a screen. The distance between the slits is denoted as \(d\), the distance from the slits to the screen is \(D\), and the width of each slit is \(s\). 2. **Condition for Interference Pattern**: - The interference pattern is observed when the light waves from the two slits overlap and interfere with each other. For a clear interference pattern to appear, the following condition must be satisfied: \[ ...
