In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation \(d\) between the slits is \(2~\text{mm}\), the wavelength \(\lambda\) of the light used is \(5896~\mathring{A}\) and distance \(D\) between the screen and slits is \(100~\text{cm}\). It is found that the angular width of the fringes is \(0.20^{\circ}\). To increase the fringe angular width to \(0.21^{\circ}\) (with same \(\lambda\) and \(D\)) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to:
1. \(1.8~\text{mm}\)
2. \(1.9~\text{mm}\)
3. \(2.1~\text{mm}\)
4. \(1.7~\text{mm}\)
