Factors affecting fringe width in YDSE

In Young's double slit interference pattern, the fringe width increases with
Increasing slit to screen distance
Increasing wavelength
Decreasing slit width
All of the above

Solution:

The fringe width \( \beta \) in Young's double slit experiment is given by \( \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \). Hence, \( \beta \) increases when slit-to-screen distance \( D \) increases, wavelength \( \lambda \) increases, or slit width separation \( d \) decreases.
