Problem

At a point on the interference pattern of a Young’s double-slit experiment, the two waves travel paths that differ by 1.5 μm1.5\,\mu\text{m}. If the experiment uses light of wavelength 500 nm500\,\text{nm}, determine the phase difference between the waves at that point (give your answer in radians).
