For the fringe separation to remain unchanged, wavelength ..?.. while the distance to the screen increases.
If the distance to the screen decreases, fringe separation ...?...
If the frequency of the light used increases, fringe separation ...?...
If slit separation decreases, fringe separation ...?...
If slit separation increases and the distance to the screen increases, fringe separation ...?...
If the wavelength of the light used increases, fringe separation ...?...
