An intereference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength of 560 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel slits seperated by a distance (between centers) of 0.580 mm. (A) if the slits are very narrow what would be the angular position of the first order two slit intereference maxima? Express your answer in radians. (B) what would be the angular position of the second order two slit intereference maxima in this case?
