Question

Coherent light with wavelength 602 nm passes through two very narrow slits, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen a distance of 3.00 m from the slits. The first-order bright fringe is a distance of 4.84 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. For what wavelength of light will the first-order dark fringe (the first dark fringe next to a central maximum) be observed at this same point on the screen? Express your answer in micrometers (not in nanometers).

Explanation / Answer

fringe width =lambda*D/d


since fringe width now is twice so lambda wlii be twice


lambda=602*2=1204 nm=1.204 micro meter
