In Young's double slit experiment, if the separation between coherent sources is halved and the distance of the screen from the coherent sources is doubled, then the fringe width becomes :
Answer: (C) four times
$\beta = \dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$. Doubling $D$ and halving $d$:
$$\beta' = \frac{\lambda(2D)}{d/2} = 4\beta$$
