Angular separation\Theta = fringe width \beta /distance between slit and screen D =(D\Lambda /d (distance between two slits) )/D = (D\Lambda /d)/ D =\Lambda /dIt proves that distance between slit and screen makes no difference in angular separation .
Where fringe width is separation between two successive fringes.  ( D * lambda)/ d.
Where d is distance between two slits.  & D is distance between screen and slit .
