  1. A 12 mm
  2. B 8 mm
  3. C 6 mm
  4. D 4 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 12 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( x_2^{dark} = (2 - \frac{1}{2})\frac{\lambda D}{d} = \frac{3}{2}\frac{\lambda D}{d} \) \( \frac{3}{2}\frac{\lambda D}{d} = 3 \text{ mm} \implies \frac{\lambda D}{d} = 2 \text{ mm} \)
