You will be passing light through slits and observing the effect on a screen that is a certain distance away. Note: This is really just a trigonometry problem. We will use this when looking at Young's Double Slit Experiment.
Suppose the angle, , separating two points on the screen is 12.7 and the screen is a distance L=1.60m away from the slits. What is the distance, y, separating the two points on the screen?

Lets turn it around. Suppose two points on the screen are spaced a distance y=0.216m on the screen and the screen is L=1.60m away from the slits. What is the angle, , separating the two points?
