DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT

What are 3 seperate equations? Can they be combined in any way?

Explanation / Answer

This experiment is the proof for the young's double experiment and to prove the following relation

Fringe width = wavelength * Distance of screen / Slit seperation.

You may notice that in each of the experiment , you are keeping two of the factors constant and varying one to observe the pattern in second. THe equation above relates all of them.
