In a Young's double slit experiment, slits are separated by 0.5mm0.5\mathrm{mm}0.5mm, and the screen is placed 150cm150\mathrm{cm}150cm away. A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, 650nm650\mathrm{nm}650nm and 520nm520\mathrm{nm}520nm, is used to obtain interference fringes on the screen. The least distance from the common central maximum to the point where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide is:
