Monochromatic (one color) light shines on two identical glass slides that form a very narrow wedge. The glass slides are too large to be "thin films" so pay attention to the thin layer of air between them. It should create an interference pattern of light and dark fringes, when viewed from above. The bottom slide is rotated as shown so that the wedge angle gets a bit smaller. What happens to the spacing of the fringes?
