Question

Figure 27.34 shows two glass slides illuminated by purewavelength light incident perpendicularly. The top slide touches the bottom slide at one end and rests on a 0.100-mm-diameter hair at the other end, forming a wedge of air.

How far apart are the dark bands, if the slides are 7.50 cm long and 589-nm light is used?
