Problem

Coherent light of wavelength 600 nm600\,\mathrm{nm} passes through two very narrow slits, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen 3.00 m3.00\,\mathrm{m} from the slits. The first-order bright fringe is at 4.94 mm4.94\,\mathrm{mm} from the centre of the central bright fringe. For what wavelength of light will the first-order dark fringe be observed at the same point on the screen?
