I wouldn’t have thought that the ANGULAR separation had much connection with the distance to the screen. OK, the DISTANCE you have to go to SEE the fringes will be larger, and that’s a good thing for experimental “protocol”. Enclosed is my attempt. I can get the numbers you quoted but I don't follow the question. bon chance et bon voyage http://perendis.webs.com
