How far away along this screen from the center of the central bright spot (central fringe) is: (a) the SECOND bright fringe adjacent to (i.e., next to) the central bright fringe. IN OTHER WORDS, y2 =? (b) the FOURTH bright fringe (not counting the central bright fringe.) IN OTHER WORDS, y4 =? (c) Draw a ray diagram explaining the problem.

Coherent light rays of wavelength strike a pair of slits separated by distance d at an angle 1, with respect to the normal to the plane containing the slits as shown in Figure P27.14. The rays leaving the slits make an angle 2 with respect to the normal, and an interference maximum is formed by those rays on a screen that is a great distance from the slits. Show that the angle 2 is given by 2=sin1(sin1md) where m is an integer.
