If you illuminated a 100 mm focal length lens with a plane wave of 550 nm wavelength through a square aperture at the lens of size 1 cm x 1 cm, what size would the central bright region be of the pattern in the back focal plane of the lens (one focal length behind the lens)?

illuminated by a laser with a wavelength of 534 nm. The interference pattern on a screen located x = 5.30 m away shows that the fourth-order bright fringe is located y = 7.70 cm away from the central bright fringe. Calculate the distance between the two slits. The screen is now moved 2.1 m further away. What is the new distance between the central and the fourth-order bright fringe?
