If two deuterium nuclei (charge +e, mass 3.34×10−27kg) get close enough together, the attraction of the strong nuclear force wil
l fuse them to make an isotope of helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. The range of this force is about 10−15. This is the principle behind the fusion reactor. The deuterium nuclei are moving much too fast to be contained by physical walls, so they are confined magnetically. (a) How fast would two nuclei have to move so that in a head-on collision they would get close enough to fuse? (Assume their speeds are equal. Treat the nuclei as point charges, and assume that a separation of 1.0×10−15 is required for fusion.) (b) What strength magnetic field is needed to make deuterium nuclei with this speed travel in a circle of diameter 2.50 m?

Given
Wavelength of light
Screen is away
Distance between two adjacent bright fringe is
When same experiment done in water, wavelength reduce to
So, the distance between the two adjacent bright fringe is
Keeping other factor same, distance becomes
