Problem

In a Young slits experiment to demonstrate the interference of light, the slit separation is doubled. In order to keep the spacing of the maxima on the interference pattern the same the distance from the slits to the screen must change to (1) 12D\frac{1}{2}D . (2) 12D\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}D . (3) 2D\sqrt{2}D . (4) 2D2D .
