A wide beam of light from a laser with a wavelength of 525.0 nm is incident on a long narrow opening that is 0.250 mm wide. What will be the width, in mm, of the central maximum on a screen 2.00 m from the opening (i.e what will be the distance between the nodes adjacent to the central maximum?) (Use the small angle approximation.)
