Problem

In a double-slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 5.0 mm5.0\,\text{mm} and the slits are 1.0 m1.0\,\text{m} from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen, one due to light with wavelength 480 nm480\,\text{nm} and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm600\,\text{nm}. What is the separation on the screen between the third-order bright fringes of the two interference patterns?
