Question

how does the angular separation of interference fringes change in youngs double slit experiment if the distance between the slits is increased?

Solution

Dear Student,
Angular separation of the fringes = λ/d

d is the separation between two slits.

Therefore, Angular separation decreases with increase in the d.
