    Find the separation between consecutive maxima. Can you expect to distinguish between these maxima? (b) Find the separation between the sources which will give a separation of 1⋅0 mm between consecutive maxima.
    Ans : We know that separation between two consecutive maxima = fringe width (β).
    That is, `` \beta =\frac{\lambda D}{d}`` ...(i)
    `` =\frac{5\times {10}^{-7}\times 1}{{10}^{-2}}\,\mathrm{\,m\,}``
    `` =5\times {10}^{-5}\,\mathrm{\,m\,}=0.05\,\mathrm{\,mm\,}`` (b) Separation between two consecutive maxima = fringe width
    ∴ `` \beta =1\,\mathrm{\,mm\,}={10}^{-3}\,\mathrm{\,m\,}``
    Let the separation between the sources be 'd'
    Using equation (i), we get:
    `` d\text{'}=\frac{5\times {10}^{-7}\times 1}{{10}^{-3}}``
    `` \Rightarrow d\text{'}=5\times {10}^{-4}\,\mathrm{\,m\,}=0.50\,\mathrm{\,mm\,}.``
