Coherent light of wavelength 500 nm traveling rightward from the left passes through a vertical screen with two thin slits that are a distance d = 0.0410 mm apart. After passing through the two slits, the light spreads out in light and dark spots on another vertical screen 70.1 cm away on the right. How far away along with this screen from the center of the central bright spot (central fringe) is: (a) the first bright fringe adjacent to (i.e., next to) the central bright fringe. (b ) the fifth bright fringe (not counting the central bright fringe.)

Question

Coherent light of wavelength 500 nm traveling rightward from the left passes through a vertical screen with two thin slits that are a distance d = 0.0410 mm apart. After passing through the two slits, the light spreads out in light and dark spots on another vertical screen 70.1 cm away on the right. How far away along with this screen from the center of the central bright spot (central fringe) is:

(a) the first bright fringe adjacent to (i.e., next to) the central bright fringe.

(b ) the fifth bright fringe (not counting the central bright fringe.)
(c ) Draw a ray diagram explaining the problem. Show the interfering rays traveling from the two slits on the left to the screen on the right.
