You perform a double-slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of a new laser that you recieved for your birthday. You set your slit spacing at 1.05 mm and place your screen 9.43 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slit with your new toy and find that the tenth bright fringe on the screen is 4.51 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength in nanometers? Note, 1 nm=10-9 m.
