Using the appropriate approximations:

dx/L = mλ

d = slit separation

x = fringe spacing

L = distance between slits and screen

m = some integer, used to determine the distance from the central bright fringe to another bright fringe


We don't really need a value for m because we're calculating the distance between any pair of consecutive fringes. Let's just set m = 1


Given values:

d = 1.0mm

L = 2.0m

λ = 480nm


Substitute the terms in the equation with our given values and solve for x:

1.0*10⁻³*x/2 = 480*10⁻9

<h3>x = 0.96mm</h3>

: Do you attract the Earth or the Earth attracts you which one is attracting with a larger force?
seraphim [82]

Answer: The Earth and you are attracted to the centers of each other by a pair of equal gravitational forces. The size of the force attracting you toward the center of the Earth is your "weight" on Earth. The size of the force attracting the Earth toward the center of you is the Earth's "weight" on you.
