A student locates a double-slit assembly 1.65 m from a reflective screen. The slits are separated by 0.0576 mm. (a) Suppose the student shines a beam of yellow light, with a wavelength of 585 nm, toward the slit assembly, and this makes an interference pattern on the screen. What distance (in cm) separates the zeroth-order and first-order bright fringes (a.k.a. maxima)? answer in cm (b) Now suppose that blue light (with ? = 413 nm) is used instead. What distance (in cm) will now separate the second-order and fourth-order bright fringes? answer in cm

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
