Question: shows the light intensity on a screen behind a double slit. The slit spacing is 0.23 mm and the wavelength of the light is 580

shows the light intensity on a screen behind a double slit. The slit spacing is 0.23 mm and the wavelength of the light is 580 nm . Figure1 of 1 The graph shows light intensity as a function of position along another screen behind the slits. Position is measured in centimeters on the x-axis. Intensity is measured from 0 to 12 milliwatts per meter squared on the y- axis. Intensity makes sinusoidal oscillations with a period of 0.5 centimeters and the height of positive peaks decreasing if moving away from the central greatest peak of 12 milliwatts per meter squared.
