young's slit experiment and diffraction question

can someone pls ans these questions for me pls i dont understand how to get the correct ans.

especially (a) (ii), (iii) and (b) (i)

thanks

i can't do b part 1 since i'm too inept ;( although i should know how to do it....

a part 2 though
ω=λDs \omega = \dfrac {\lambda D}{s}

so if you increase s for example λ \lambda would get smaller and the fringe spacing would get smaller? so the pattern on the graph would have a lower frequency? so slit width is bigger than wavelength of light? i'm really not sure but it's somewhere to start i guess

then you got part 3
ω=λDs \omega = \dfrac {\lambda D}{s}
so increase s decrease w right?

Thanks for the reply but what does w and s stand for cause I don't learn the formula using those letters

w = fringe spacing in metres (m)
λ \lambda = wavelength of the light in metres (m)
D = distance between the double slits and the screen in metres (m)
s = slit separation in metres (m)
