Problem

In a double-slit experiment, the slit separation is 2.0 mm2.0\,\mathrm{mm}, and two wavelengths, 750 nm750\,\mathrm{nm} and 900 nm900\,\mathrm{nm}, illuminate the slits simultaneously. A screen is placed 2.0 m2.0\,\mathrm{m} from the slits. At what distance from the central maximum on the screen will a bright fringe from one pattern first coincide with a bright fringe from the other? (1) 1.5 mm1.5\,\mathrm{mm} (2) 3.0 mm3.0\,\mathrm{mm} (3) 4.5 mm4.5\,\mathrm{mm} (4) 6.0 mm6.0\,\mathrm{mm}
