How will the diffraction pattern change when yellow light is replaced by blue light? The fringe will be :-

Two wavelengths $590 \ nm$ and $596 \ nm$ of sodium light are used one after another to study the diffraction taking place at a single slit of aperture $2.4 \ mm$. The distance between the slit and the screen is $2 \ m$. The separation between the positions of the first secondary maximum of the diffraction pattern obtained in the two cases is:
