Question

3. Two glass plates are separated on one side by a human hair. The light shining on the plates has a wavelength of 600 nm. The light intensity is zero at the point of contact of the two plates, followed by nine alternating bright and dark fringes. Estimate the thickness of the hair. (Hint: let L = 9$\lambda$x)
