A pair of narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.250 mm is illuminated by light from a green laser (lambda =546.1nm) The interference pattern is observed on a screen 1.20 m away from the plane of
the slits. a) Calculate the distance from the central maximum to the first bright region on either side.
[2.62 mm]
b) Calculate the distance between the first and second dark bands in the interference pattern.
[2.62 mm]
c) If the slits are now illuminated with red light (lambda =650nm) calculate the distance between the central maximum to the first dark band. [1.56 mm)
