Monochromatic light with a wavelength of 616 nm is directed upon a single thin slit having a slit width of 0.407 mm. What is the linear separation between the central maxima and the 9th minima regarding the interference pattern produced on a screen that is 1.62 m from the slit? Submit your answer in millimeters.

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?
Light with a wavelength of 576 nm passes through two slits . If and forms an interference pattern on a screen 8.85 m away. If the linear distance on the screen from the central fringe to the first bright fringe above it is $5.36 \mathrm{cm},$ what is the separation of the slits?
Light with a wavelength of $587.5 \mathrm{~nm}$ illuminates a single slit $0.750 \mathrm{~mm}$ in width. (a) At what distance from the slit should a screen be located if the first minimum in the diffraction pattern is to be $0.850 \mathrm{~mm}$ from the center of the screen? (b) What is the width of the central maximum?
