Answer to Question #279431 in Physics for Victor etim

Question

in young's two-slit experiment using light of wavelength 6.0×10^-7m, the slits were 0.40mm apart and the distance of the slits to the screen was 1.20m find the separation of the fringes. what is the angle in radians subtended by a central pair of bright fringes at the slit? 

Answer 1

$$d\sin\theta=m\lambda, \\\space\\ \theta=\arcsin\frac{m\lambda}{d}=1.5·10^{-3},\\\space\\ \phi=2\theta=0.003\text{ rad}.$$
