In a double-slit experiment,the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^o$ for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \ \mathring{A})$. In order to increase the angular width of the fringes by $10\%$,the necessary change in the wavelength is:

  • A
    Increase of $589 \ \mathring{A}$
  • B
    Decrease of $589 \ \mathring{A}$
  • C
    Increase of $6479 \ \mathring{A}$
  • D
    Zero
