Question

Light from a laser with a wavelength of 5.50 ✕ 10² nm is incident on (and perpendicular to) a pair of slits separated by 0.310 mm. An interference pattern is formed on a screen 1.70 m from the slits. Find the distance (in mm) between the first and second dark fringes of the interference pattern.
