How far is the second dark fringe to the right of the central bright fringe in the double-slit interference pattern seen on a screen 5 m from the slits? The slits are separated by 0.4 mm and are illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength 587 nm.

Two narrow slits are illuminated by a laser with a wavelength of 507 nm. The interference pattern on a screen located x = 5.30 m away shows that the third-order bright fringe is located y = 8.70 cm away from the central bright fringe. Calculate the distance between the two slits. The screen is now moved 1.9 m further away. What is thenew distance between the central and the third-order bright fringe?

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ is incident on a pair of slits separated by 2.40 × 10−4 m and forms an interference pattern on a screen placed 1.80 m from the slits. The first-order bright fringe is at a position ybright = 4.52 mm measured from the center of the central maximum. From this information, we wish to predict where the fringe for n = 50 would be located. (a) Assuming the fringes are laid out linearly along the screen, find the position of the n = 50 fringe by multiplying the position of the n = 1 fringe by 50.0. (b) Find the tangent of the angle the first-order bright fringe makes with respect to the line extending from the point midway between the slits to the center of the central maximum. (c) Using the result of part (b) and Equation 36.2, calculate the wavelength of the light
