Question: A student installs a double - slit assembly 1 . 4 5 m from a viewing screen. The slits are separated by 0 . 0

A student installs a double-slit assembly 1.45 m from a viewing screen. The slits are separated by 0.0584 mm.
(a)
Suppose the student aims a beam of yellow light, with a wavelength of 589 nm, toward the slit assembly, and this makes an interference pattern on the screen. What distance (in cm) separates the zeroth-order and first-order bright fringes (a.k.a. maxima)?
cm
(b)
Now suppose that blue light (with
=413 nm)
is used instead. What distance (in cm) will now separate the second-order and fourth-order bright fringes?
cm
