Explanation / Answer

part B

In diffraction pattern

the needed equation is Y = mLR/d---------------1

and d sin theta = mL--------------------2

where L = wavelgnth

m = order = 1,2,3,4, ......... for brigth bands

m = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, ......for dark bands

R is the distance from slit to screen

Y = disatnce from central spot to nth order fringe or fringe width

so here now we apply

Y = 1.5 * 420 e-9 * 0.82/(0.021 e -3)

Y = 2.46 cm
