For fixed values of wavelength and x, when the slit width was doubled, the distance from the center of the brightest band in the pattern to the center of one of the 2 adjacent dark bands:

Correct answer: B. Was halved.

  • A. Was doubled.
  • B. Was halved.
  • C. Remained unchanged.
  • D. Varied with no general trend.

Explanation
