In Young's double slit experiment, the slits are 2 mm2 \mathrm{~mm}2 mm apart and are illuminated by photons of two wavelengths λ1=12000A˚\lambda_1=12000 Å \quadλ1​=12000A˚ and λ2=10000A˚\lambda_2=10000 Åλ2​=10000A˚. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen 2 m2 \mathrm{~m}2 m from the slit will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?
