(b) the third dark fringe above the central bright fringe? Give your answers in terms of the wavelength of the light.
ANSWER:
Solution 12P
Step 1 of 3
Here, we have to calculate the path difference for the 4th bright fringe and the 3rd dark fringe in a two slit experiment.
The equation for the path difference of a bright fringe,
For a dark fringe, the path difference
Where,
- Wavelength
