Light is incident normally on two narrow parallel slits a distance of $1.00\mathrm{mm}$ apart. A screen is placed a distance of $1.2\mathrm{m}$ from the slits. The distance on the screen between the central maximum and the centre of the $n=4$ bright spot is measured to be $3.1\mathrm{mm}$.

a. Determine the wavelength of light.
