Two parallel discs are connected by a rigid rod of length $L=0.5 \,m$ centrally. Each disc has a slit oppositely placed as shown in the figure. A beam of neutral atoms are incident on one of the discs axially at different velocities $v$, while the system is rotated at angular speed of $600 \,rev / second$, so that atoms only with a specific velocity emerge at the other end. Calculate the two largest speeds (in metre/second) of the atoms that will emerge at the other end.
