A double-slit apparatus is set up and green light is used to form the interference pattern. The green light is then replaced by red light. Which of the following changes may not allow the spacing of the bright bands on the screen to remain unaffected by the change of light colour? (Given that the distance between the slits is d and that between the plane of the slits and the screen is D.)
