In a double-slit interference experiment, the wavelength is 574 nm,the slit separation is 0.13 mm, and the screen is 55.0 cm away fromthe slits. What is the linear distance between adjacent maxima onthe screen? [Hint: Assume the small angle approximation isjustified and then check the validity of your assumption once youknow the value of the separation between adjacent maxima.]
