When the movable mirror of a Michelson interferometer is shifted a certain distance, 200 fringes are observed to pass a given point in the field of view. If light of wavelength 624 nm is used, determine how far the mirror was moved.

The Michelson interferometer cxperiment is performed with a source which consists of two wavelengths $4882 \mathrm{~A}$ and $4886 \mathrm{~A}$. Through what distance does the mirror have to be moved between two positions of the disappearance of the fringes?
