In Young's double slit experiment, slits are separated by
and the screen is placed at a distance of
from the slits. Light consisting of two wavelengths
and
are used to obtain interference fringes. Then the separation between the fourth bright fringes of two different patterns produced by the two wavelengths is

: Here,
Distance between the slits, 
Distance of the screen from the slits, 
Wavelengths,

and 
Distance of
bright fringe from the centre bright fringe is

If
and
be the distances of the fourth bright fringes of wavelengths
and
respectively, then from eqn. (i)

Thus, the separation between them is
