CE A two-slit experiment with blue light produces a set of

Solution 15P

a)

Step 1 of 2

The equation for the maxima,

For small angle diffraction,

Where,  - Distance between the source and the screen

              - Distance of the mth bright fringe.

Therefore, we can write,

If the separation of the slits is decreased, spacing between the fringes will increase since it is inversely proportional.
