The distance between two slits is 1.50 * 10-5 m. A beam of coherent light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates these slits, and the distance between the slit and the screen is 2.00 m. What is the distance on the screen between the central bright fringe and the fourth-order bright fringe?

    Answer: y = 2.4*10^-6m or y = 2.4μm

    Explanation: The formulae for the distance between the central bright fringe to any other fringe in pattern is given as

    y = R*mλ/d

    Where y = distance between nth fringe and Central bright spot fringe.

    m = position of fringe = 4

    λ = wavelength of light = 600nm = 600*10^-9 m

    d = distance between slits = 1.50*10^-5m

    R = distance between slit and screen = 2m

    y = 2 * 4 * 600*10^-9/2

    y = 4800*10^-9/2

    y = 2400 * 10^-9

    y = 2.4*10^-6m or y = 2.4μm
