In a biprism experiment,a wavelength $\lambda$ is used to obtain an interference pattern. The fringe width is $W_1$ at a distance $D_1$ from the screen. When the screen is moved towards the biprism,the fringe width becomes $W_2$ at a distance $D_2$. The distance between the two virtual images of the slit is:

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda(D_2-D_1)}{(W_1-W_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda(W_1-W_2)}{(D_1-D_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda(W_2-W_1)}{(D_1-D_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda(D_1-D_2)}{(W_1-W_2)}$

In a biprism experiment, the distance between $4^{th}$ and $13^{th}$ bright band on the same side is '$y$' when light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$ is used. For a light of wavelength '$\lambda$' the distance between $6^{th}$ and $16^{th}$ bright band on the same side is again '$y$'. The value of '$\lambda$' in $\text{Å}$ units is
