I was studying Young's double slit experiment (YDSE) in which it was derived that the formula for path difference (δx) is : δx=y⋅dD Where y is the vertical position of the point where interference occurs, d is the separation between the slits and D is the distance between the slits and the screen.
This formula was derived under the condition that λ<<d<<D (note that λ is the wavelength of the light used).
Now my doubt is what happens if d>D ? I had tried searching for answers but couldn't find any.
Thanks !
