In Young’s double slit experiment, the slits are \(2~\text{mm}\) apart and are illuminated by photons of two wavelengths \(\lambda_1 = 12000~\mathring{\text{A}}\) and \(\lambda_2 = 10000~\mathring{\text{A}}\). At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen, \(2~\text{m}\) from the slit, will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?
1. \(6~\text{mm}\)
2. \(4~\text{mm}\)
3. \(3~\text{mm}\)
4. \(8~\text{mm}\)

2. the intensities of individual sources are 4 and 1 unit respectively.
3. the ratio of their amplitudes is 3.
4. the ratio of their amplitudes is 6.
