Problem

A double-slit apparatus has slit separation d=0.20 mmd=0.20\,\text{mm} and slit width a=0.80 mma=0.80\,\text{mm}. It is illuminated by light of wavelength 500 nm500\,\text{nm}. (a) How many interference bright fringes (including the central maximum) are visible within the central diffraction envelope? (b) State the highest order bright fringe that appears inside this envelope.
