Problem

A slit of width 0.12 mm0.12\,\text{mm} is illuminated by light of wavelength 600 nm600\,\text{nm}. When the screen is 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m} from the slit, the third dark fringe is observed 12 mm12\,\text{mm} from the centre. If the screen is moved to a distance of 1.60 m1.60\,\text{m}, at what distance from the centre will the third dark fringe appear?
