Light of wavelength 519 nm passes through two slits. In the interference pattern on a screen 4.6 m away, adjacent bright fringes are separated by 5.2 mm in the general vicinity of the center of the pattern. What is the separation of the two slits?

The separation of the two slits is 0.456 mm.

Explanation:

Given the wavelength of light = 519 nm

The indifference pattern = 4.6 m

Adjacent bright fringes = 5.2 mm

In the interference, the equation required is Y = mLR/d

Here, d sin theta = mL

L = wavelgnth

For bright bands, m is the  order = 1,2,3,4  

For dark bands,  m = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5

R = Distance from slit to screen (The indifference pattern)

Y = Distance from central spot to the nth  order fringe or fringe width

Thus,  here d = mLR/Y

d = 1× 519nm × 4.6 / 5.2mm

d = 0.459 mm

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right
