(2) The angular width of the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will increase
(3) The angular width of the central maximum will decrease
(4) The angular width of the central maximum will be unaffected
In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 3 mm and the slits are 2 m away from the screen one due to light with wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm.
