Problem

Coherent light from a sodium-vapour lamp is passed through a filter that blocks everything except light of a single wavelength. It then falls on two slits separated by 0.460 mm0.460\ \text{mm}. In the resulting interference pattern on a screen 2.20 m2.20\ \text{m} away, adjacent bright fringes are separated by 2.82 mm2.82\ \text{mm}. What is the wavelength?
