Problem

To reduce the distance between adjacent bright fringes in a double-slit interference experiment, which single adjustment listed below would be most effective if all other variables remain unchanged? (a) Double the distance between the slits and the screen from 1.0 m1.0\text{ m} to 2.0 m2.0\text{ m}. (b) Halve the slit separation from 0.30 mm0.30\text{ mm} to 0.15 mm0.15\text{ mm}. (c) Double the slit separation from 0.30 mm0.30\text{ mm} to 0.60 mm0.60\text{ mm}. (d) Replace the 650 nm650\text{ nm} laser with a 780 nm780\text{ nm} laser.
