Monochromatic light passes through two slits separated by a distance of 0.0396 mm. If the angle to the third maximum above the central fringe is 3.69 degrees, what is the wavelength of the light? Express your answer to three significant figures in units of nm.

Monochromatic light passes through two slits separated by a distance of $0.0334 \mathrm{~mm}$. If the angle for the third bright fringe above the central bright fringe is $3.21^{\circ}$, what is the wavelength of the light?
Monochromatic light of wavelength 594 nm falls on a slit. Part A If the angle between the first two bright fringes on either side of the central maximum is 35 ∘, estimate the slit width. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Monochromatic light of unknown wavelength passes through two slits separated by $0.12 \mathrm{~mm}$, producing an interference pattern on a screen $1.55 \mathrm{~m}$ away. If the distance between the central maximum and the first dark fringe is $3.40 \mathrm{~mm}$, what's the wavelength of the light?
