In a Young's double-slit experiment, λ=500 nm\lambda=500\ \text{nm}, d=1.0 mmd=1.0\ \text{mm}, and D=1.0 mD=1.0\ \text{m}. Find the minimum distance from the central maximum for which the intensity is half of the maximum intensity. (a) 10−4 m10^{-4}\ \text{m} (b) 2.5×10−4 m2.5\times10^{-4}\ \text{m} (c) 1.25×10−4 m1.25\times10^{-4}\ \text{m} (d) 5×10−4 m5\times10^{-4}\ \text{m}
