    In a Young's double slit experiment, two slits are illuminated with a light of wavelength 800 nm800\text{ }nm. The line joining A1PA_{1}P is perpendicular to A1A2A_{1}A_{2} as shown in the figure. If the first minimum is detected at PP, the value of slits separation 'a' will be: The distance of screen from slits D=5 cmD = 5\text{ }cm
