A double-slit experiment is performed with sodium light $(\lambda=589.0 \mathrm{nm}) .$ The slits are separated by $1.25 \mathrm{mm},$ and the screen is $2.604 \mathrm{m}$ from the slits. Find the separation between adjacent maxima on the screen.
For a double-slit experiment, two 1.50 -mm-wide slits are separated by a distance of $1.00 \mathrm{~mm} .$ The slits are illuminated by laser light with wavelength $633 \mathrm{nm}$. If a screen is placed $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$ away from the slits, determine the separation of the bright fringes on the screen.
In a double-slit interference experiment, the wavelength is $475 \mathrm{nm},$ the slit separation is $0.120 \mathrm{mm},$ and the screen is $36.8 \mathrm{cm}$ away from the slits. What is the linear distance between adjacent maxima on the screen?
