In a Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width will remain the same if ($D =$ distance between screen and plane of slits,$d =$ separation between two slits,and $\lambda =$ wavelength of light used).

  • A
    Both $\lambda$ and $D$ are doubled.
  • B
    Both $d$ and $D$ are doubled.
  • C
    $D$ is doubled but $d$ is halved.
  • D
    $\lambda$ is doubled but $d$ is halved.
