Detailed Solution

Let say nth bright fringe is forming at point P  Path difference, Δx = SP- RP = nλ ⇒Δx=L2+r2− L=nλ ⇒L2+r2=nλ+L ⇒L2+r2=n2λ2+L2+2nλL ⇒r=2nλL        [∵n2λ2 may be neglected]  ∴rn = 2nλL      and   rn−1=2(n−1)λL  Spacing between them = rn -  rn−1                                           = 2nλL - 2(n−1)λL                                           =2λL(n−n−1)
