13: Use the information given about the bright fringe to find the distance d between
the two slits:
Rλ1 Rλ1 (3.00 m) (600 ×10 −9 m)
y1 = ( Eq .35 .6), so d = = = 3.72 ×10 −4 m.
d y1 4.84 ×10 −3 m
(R is much greater than d, so Eq.35.6 is valid.)
The dark fringes are located by d s inθ = (m + 12 )λ, m = 0, ± 1, ± 2, . . . The first order
dark fringe is located by sin θ = λ 2 2d , where λ 2 is the wavelength we are seeking.
λ R
y = R tan θ ≈ R sin θ = 2

Rλ 1 Rλ 2
We want λ2 such that y = y1 . This gives = and λ 2 = 2λ1 = 1200 nm.
