3.5 Exercise 10

Avg difficulty 2.5

Red light (λ=710.nm\lambda = 710. \text{nm}) illuminates double slits separated by a distance d=0.150mm.d = 0.150 \text{mm} . The screen and the slits are 3.00 m apart. (a) Find the distance on the screen between the central maximum and the third maximum. (b) What is the distance between the second and the fourth maxima?
