A beam of light consisting of 2 wavelengths , 650 nm and 520 nm is used to obtain interference in YDSE . If bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide at any point P then least distance of P from central maxima is (slit separation is 2 mm and distance b/w slits and screen is 1.2 m)
1) 1.56 mm
2) 2.36 mm
3) 3 mm
4) 1.8 mm
Please explain the answer in detail.
