Question: 4 . A double - slit is illuminated with monochromatic light and the pattern shown below is observed on a viewing screen located 2 1

4. A double-slit is illuminated with monochromatic light and the pattern shown below is observed on a viewing screen located 215 cm from the plane of the slits. Each slit has a width of \(40.0\mu \mathrm{~m}\) and the centers of the two slits are separated by \(250\mu \mathrm{~m}\). The separation between adjacent interference fringes is measured to be 5.63 mm .
a) What is the wavelength of the light used? Is this wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum? If so, what color would it correspond to?
b) Use the wavelength calculated in part a) to calculate the distance between the first two diffraction minima located to the right of the central diffraction maxima.
Closely-spaced dark "interference" fringes
Widely-spaced dark "diffraction" fringes
4 . A double - slit is illuminated with
