Fringe width, \mathrm{ \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}}                          \mathrm{ (i)}

Where \mathrm{ \lambda} is the wavelength of the light, \mathrm{ \mathrm{D}} is the distance between the slits and the screen and \mathrm{ \mathrm{d}} is the distance between two slits.

When \mathrm{ \lambda} alone is doubled, while the other parameters remain unchanged, then fringe width becomes

\mathrm{ \beta^{\prime}=\frac{(2 \lambda) D}{d}=2 \beta }                                (Using (i))
