  1. A First increase and then decreases
  2. B Remains same
  3. C Increases
  4. D Decreases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Remains same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular separation is \(\theta=\frac{\beta}{D}=\frac{\left(\frac{D \lambda}{d}\right)}{D}=\frac{\lambda}{d}\)
Since \(\theta\) is independent of \(D\), angular separation would remain the same.
