Question: Two sources generate identical waves and are located 5 cm apart and both at a distance of 2.10 m from a screen showing an interference

Two sources generate identical waves and are located 5 cm apart and both at a distance of 2.10 m from a screen showing an interference pattern. On the screen at z = 0 (i.e. in the middle between the two sources) the intensity is maximum. At the position on the screen directly opposite the sources, the intensity is minimal. Determine the wavelength of the waves. Select the correct answer from the following list:

1.19 mm 11.9 mm .595e-3 m .298e-3 m
