A double slit experiment is performed where the two slits are separated by 0.134 mm. Visible light of 532 nm passes through the slits and falls onto a screen 4.00 m from the slits. a) What is the distance along the screen from the central maximum to the nearest minimum? ________________________ b) What is the angular position (in degrees) of the third-order maximum, relative to the central maximum? ________________________ c) What are some other wavelengths of light that would have maxima located at the same position as the third-order maximum for 532 nm light? List at least four wavelengths, along with the order of the maximum, and the type of light (visible, infrared, etc). Note that UV is from 10-380 nm, visible is from 380-750 nm, and IR is from 750 nm – 1 mm
