In a Young’s double-slit setup, the slit separation is doubled while the wavelength of light and the screen distance remain unchanged. How does the fringe width ββ change? (a) It becomes twice its original value (b) It becomes 12\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} of its original value (c) It becomes half of its original value (d) It remains unchanged
