Problem

Three double-slit experiments are performed, each with the same screen distance LL. • Experiment I uses light of wavelength 600 nm600\,\text{nm} and slits separated by 0.30 mm0.30\,\text{mm}. • Experiment II uses light of wavelength 500 nm500\,\text{nm} and slits separated by 0.20 mm0.20\,\text{mm}. • Experiment III uses light of wavelength 700 nm700\,\text{nm} and slits separated by 0.40 mm0.40\,\text{mm}. Rank the experiments by the distance between adjacent bright fringes, from largest to smallest. (a) III >> I >> II (b) I >> II >> III (c) II >> I >> III (d) II >> III >> I
