In Young’s double-slit experiment, monochromic light of wavelength $630 \mathrm{nm}$ illuminates the pair of slits and produces an interference pattern in which two consecutive bright fringes are separated by $8.1 \mathrm{mm}$. Another source of monochromic light produces the interference pattern in which the two consecutive bright fringes are separated by $7.2 \mathrm{mm}$. Find the wavelength of light from the second source.

In Young’s double slit experiment, monochromic light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates the pair of slits and produces an interference pattern in which two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 10 mm. Another source of monochromic light produces the interference pattern in which the two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 8 mm. Find the wavelength of light from the second source.

In Young’s double-slit experiment, the two slits, $0.12 \mathrm{mm}$ apart, are illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength $420 \mathrm{nm}$. If the screen is $1.0 \mathrm{m}$ away from the slits, then the distance of the second bright fringe from the central maximum is
