Correct answer: 630
- In Young’s double slit experiment, the fringe width is given by
where:
- = separation between consecutive bright fringes,
- = wavelength,
- = distance of screen from slits,
- = slit separation.
- For the same experimental setup, and remain constant, so:
Hence,
- Given:
So,
- Simplify the ratio:
Therefore,
- Final answer:
