Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

A beam of 604 nm light passes through two closely spaced glass plates, as shown in
Figure. For what minimum nonzero value of the plate separation d is the transmitted
light bright? State your answer in (nm) to the nearest 0.1 nm.
