A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, and is used to obtain interference fringes in Young's double-slit experiment. What is the least distance (in ) from a central maximum where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide? The distance between the slits is and the distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is .

The correct answer is:
1.3
Let "y' be the linear distance between the centre of screen and the point at which the bright fringes due to both wavelength coincides. Let number of bright fringe with wavelength coincides with number of bright fringe with wavelength .
…(i)
Also at first position, the bright fringe of one will coincide with bright of other.
If
So then
…(ii)
Using equation (ii) and equation (i),
Thus,
