A monochromatic light emits visible light of two wavelengths: λ = 450 nm and λ’ = 510 nm. The source is used in a double-slit interference experiment in which the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.5 m and the distance between the slits is 0.025 mm. Determine the separation distance between the third-order bright fringes.
