Monochromatic light is incident on (and perpendicular to) two sits separated by 0.230 mm, which causes an interference pattern on a screen 791 cm away. The light has a wavelength of 656.3 nm. (a) What is the fraction of the maximum intensity at a distance of 0.600 cm from the central maximum of the interference pattern? T (b) What If? What is the minimum distance (absolute value, in mm) from the central maximum where you would find the intensity to be half the value found in part (a)? mm
