If the wavelength of light used is 5.89x10-7m, determine the slits separation.arrow_forwardCoherent light with wavelength 600 nm passes through two very narrow slits and the interference pattern is displayed on a screen 0.80 m from the slits. 13 bright fringes are observed with a spacing of 4.00 cm between the center of the outside fringes. What is the spacing between the two slits? (Give your answer in micrometers.) Ive submitted this question multiple times and it has been incorrect on every occasion. The answer is absolutely not 1.56mm.arrow_forward
