In a double-slit experiment, the slit separation d is 0.5 mm, and the slit width a is 0.1 mm. Consider the interference of the light from the two slits and also the diffraction of the light through each slit.

(a) How many bright interference fringes are within the central peak of the diffraction envelope?

(b) How many bright fringes are within either of the first side peaks of the diffraction envelope?

In a double-slit experiment, the distance between slits is 0.5.0 mm and the slits are 2.0 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 600 nm. What is the separation on the screen between the second -order (m = 3) bright fringes of the two interference patterns?(show the ray diagrams)
