Question: Monochromatic light from two slits forms an interference pattern on a screen. At a certain point on the screen, the intensity of the interference pattern

Monochromatic light from two slits forms an interference pattern on a screen. At a certain point on the screen, the intensity of the interference pattern is 66.0% of the maximum.
(a)
What is the minimum phase difference (in radians) between the light from the slits that produces this result?
rad
(b)
If the wavelength of the light is 484.1 nm, what is the path difference (in nm) that corresponds to this phase difference?
nm
