Young’s double slit experiment is performed using a beam of (fullerene) molecules, each molecule being made up of 60 carbon atoms. When the slit separation is 50 nm, fringes are formed on a screen kept at a distance of 1 m from the slits. Now, the experiment is repeated with molecules with a slit separation of 92.5 nm. The kinetic energies of both the beams are the same. The position of the 4 bright fringe for will correspond to the bright fringe for . What is the value of (rounded off to the nearest integer)?
