A 532 nm laser illuminates a pair of slits separated by $70\mu \mathrm{ m}$. What is the angular separation, in degrees, between the $m=1$ and $m=2$ bright fringes?

In a two-slit experiment, laser light of wavelength  $600\mathrm{nm}$ passes through a pair of slits separated by $42\mu \mathrm{m}.$ If the observing screen is $1.4\mathrm{m}$ from the slits, what is the separation, in mm, between the bright fringes?

A $532\mathrm{nm}$ laser illuminates a pair of slits separated by $70\mathrm{\mu }\mathrm{m}$. What is the angular separation, in degrees, between the m = 1 and m = 2 bright fringes?

Light of wavelength 550 nm illuminates a double slit, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen behind the slit. The third maximum is measured to be 3.0 cm from the central maximum. The slits are then illuminated with light of wavelength 440 nm. How far is the fourth maximum from the central maximum?

A double-slit interference pattern is created by two narrow slits spaced 0.25 mm apart. The distance between the first and the fifth minimum on a screen 60 cm behind the slits is 5.5 mm. What is the wavelength (in nm) of the light used in this experiment?

A double-slit experiment is set up using a helium-neon laser (λ=633 nm). Then a very thin piece of glass (n=1.50) is placed over one of the slits. Afterward, the central point on the screen is occupied by what had been the m=10 dark fringe. How thick is the glass?

Coherent light with wavelength 450 nm falls on a pair of slits. On a screen 1.80 m away, the distance between dark fringes is 3.90 mm. What is the slit separation?
