Problem 2. A) A Michelson interferometer uses light of wavelength 500 nm. The irradiance of the beam exiting the laser is IL. What are the possible differences in the lengths of the arms of the interferometer when the irradiance at the detector is IL/3? B) Young's Double slit experiment is performed with HeNe laser wavelength 632.8 nm. The screen is 2 m from the slits and the slit separation is 0.2 mm. Find the distance of the 3th bright fringe from the center of the interference pattern on the screen (call the central bright fringe the "Oth" fringe).

### Problem 2

#### A)
A Michelson interferometer uses light of wavelength 500 nm. The irradiance of the beam exiting the laser is \( I_L \). What are the possible differences in the lengths of the arms of the interferometer when the irradiance at the detector is \( I_L / 3 \)?

#### B)
Young's Double slit experiment is performed with HeNe laser wavelength 632.8 nm. The screen is 2 m from the slits and the slit separation is 0.2 mm. Find the distance of the 3th bright fringe from the center of the interference pattern on the screen (call the central bright fringe the "0th" fringe).
