In a Young's double-slit experiment,$D$ is the distance of the screen from the slits and $d$ is the separation between the slits. The distance of the nearest point to the central maximum where the intensity is the same as that due to a single slit is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{D\lambda}{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{D\lambda}{2d}$
  • C
    $\frac{D\lambda}{3d}$
  • D
    $\frac{2D\lambda}{d}$

Statement-$1$: If white light is used in $YDSE$,then the central bright fringe will be white.
Statement-$2$: In the case of white light used in $YDSE$,all the wavelengths produce their zero-order maxima at the same position.
