Problem

In a Young’s double-slit experiment monochromatic light of wavelength 600 nm600\,\text{nm} falls on two parallel slits separated by 0.50 mm0.50\,\text{mm}. The interference pattern is observed on a screen 2.0 m2.0\,\text{m} away from the slits. (a) Calculate the fringe width. (b) How many complete bright fringes lie between two points that are ±1.20 mm\pm1.20\,\text{mm} from the central bright fringe on the screen?
