The correct answer is: $6.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \lambda_{\text {liquid }}=\frac{\lambda_{\text {sir }}}{\mu} \\
& \lambda_{\text {liquid }}=\frac{6300 \times 10^{-10}}{1.33}
\end{aligned}
$$

Fringe width,
$$
\mathrm{W}=\frac{\lambda_{\text {liquid }} \times \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{6300 \times 10^{-10} \times 1.33}{1.33 \times 0.001}=6.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}
$$
