In a Young's double slit experiment, two narrow vertical slits placed 0.800mm apart are illuminated by the same source of yellow light of wavelength 589nm. How far are the adjacent bright bands in the interference pattern observed on a screen 2.00m away?

Given that, $\text{d} = 0.8\text{mm} = 0.8 × 10^{-3}\text{m},$ $\lambda=589\text{nm}=589\times10^{-9}\text{m}\text{ and D}=2\text{m}.$
So, $\beta=\frac{\text{D}\lambda}{\text{d}}=\frac{589\times10^{-9}\times2}{0.8\times10^{-3}}=1.47\times10^{-3}=147\text{mm}.$
So, $\beta=\frac{\text{D}\lambda}{\text{d}}=\frac{589\times10^{-9}\times2}{0.8\times10^{-3}}=1.47\times10^{-3}=147\text{mm}.$
