Monochromatic visible light of frequency 4.32x1014 Hz falls on double slits, creating a diffraction pattern on a screen 2.03 m away, Suppose now that the distance between the slits begins to increase at a constant rate: dd = 0.366 µm/s. dt Assume that everything else remains unchanged. Find the rate at which the distance between the central maximum and first maximum is changing, in cm/s, at the instant the distance between the slits is 9.59 um NOTE: The sign of the answer will describe if the distance is increasing or decreasing.
