In Young's double slit experiment,the slits are $2\, mm$ apart and are illuminated by light of two wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 12000\, \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = 10000\, \mathring{A}$. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen $2\, m$ from the slits will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other? (in $mm$)

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
