Problem

Coherent light of wavelength 600 nm600\,\text{nm} is incident on a double-slit arrangement. A thin transparent film of thickness 3.0 μm3.0\,\mu\text{m} and refractive index 1.451.45 is placed over one of the slits. How many complete bright fringes will cross the centre of the screen due to the introduction of the film? (Give your answer to two significant figures.)
