You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength of the laser by doing a double slit experiment. Shining the laser through a double slit with a slit separation of 0.333 mm on the wall 2.16 m away the first bright fringe is 2.96 mm from the center of the pattern. What is the wavelength? nm Additional Materials
