Question: Yellow light shines on a single slit. The resulting pattern seen on a screen behind the slit consists of three yellow spots, one at zero

Yellow light shines on a single slit. The resulting pattern seen on a screen behind the slit
consists of three yellow spots, one at zero degrees (straight through) and one each at 5.
You now add red light of equal intensity, shining on the single slit. The new pattern consists
of
a) orange spots at 0 and 5.
b) yellow spots only, at 0 and 5.
c) an orange spot at 0, yellow spots at 5, and red spots slightly farther out.
d) an orange spot at 0, yellow spots at 5, and red spots slightly closer in.
e) a white spot at 0, and a complicated pattern of orange and red spots between 0 and 5
