Question
Coherent light with single wavelength falls on two slits separated by 0.560
mm. In the resulting interference pattern on screen 1.20 m away, adjacent
bright fringes are separated by 1.62 mm. What is the wavelength (in
nanometers) of the light that falls on the slits? Use formula for the small
angles of diffraction.
