A Young's double-slit experiment is set up so that the screen is positioned 1.43 m from the double slits. If the spacing between the two slits is 43.2 um and the distance between the central order bright spot and the bright spots to either side is 1.51 cm, then what is the wavelength for the light source (in nm)?
