Problem

Light of wavelength 650 nm passes through a 0.18 mm-wide slit and falls on a screen 2.0 m away. The screen extends 5.0 cm above and 5.0 cm below the central axis. Using the small-angle approximation, determine the total number of dark fringes that will be visible on the screen (above and below the central maximum). Do not include the central bright region.
