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 = 0.0400 mm apart. After passing through the two slits, the light spreads out in light and dark spots on another vertical screen 70.0 cm away on the right.

The first bright fringe, 8.75×10-3m adjacent to the central bright fringe, while the fifth bright fringe is 4.375×10-2m. 

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.
