Light from a single wavelength falls normally on a double slit. The slit separation may be changed. A screen is positioned at a fixed distance from the double slit, and the screen is parallel to it. A pattern of bright interference fringes is seen on the screen. Which graph shows best how the spacing $x$ of the bright interference fringes varies with the slit separation $a$?
