Write down the formula for the distance between two consecutive bright fringes or two consecutive dark fringes in Young's Double Slit Experiment.

In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are $2 \,mm$ apart and are illuminated with a mixture of two wavelengths ${\lambda _1} = 750 \,nm$ and ${\lambda _2} = 900 \,nm$. The minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on a screen $2 \,m$ from the slits where a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincides with a bright fringe from the other is.....$mm$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,sources of equal intensities are used. The distance between the slits is $d$ and the wavelength of light used is $\lambda$ (where $\lambda \ll d$). Find the angular separation of the nearest points on either side of the central maximum where the intensity becomes half of the maximum value.
