Problem

In a Young's double-slit setup, the wavelength of light used is 546 nm546\,\text{nm}. The distance of the screen from the slits is 1 m1\,\text{m}, and the slit separation is 0.3 mm0.3\,\text{mm}. (a) Compare the intensity at a point PP, 10 mm10\,\text{mm} from the central fringe, with the central-fringe intensity I0I_0. (b) Find the number of bright fringes between PP and the central fringe.
