Two coherent point sources \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength \(\lambda\). The separation between them is \(2 \lambda\) as shown in figure. The first bright fringe is formed at \(P\) due to interference on a screen placed at a distance \(D\) from \(S_1(D>>\lambda)\), then \(O P\) is
