Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Question

White light passes through two slits 0.5 mm apart,
and an interference pattern is observed on a
screen 2.5m away. The first-order fringe resembles
a rainbow with violet and red light at opposite
ends. The violet light is about 2mm from the
centre of the central white fringe. The wavelength
for the violet light is
1) 200 nm
2) 350 nm
3) 400 nm
4) 500 nm
