Henry shines light of wavelength 1.0 x 10-7 meter on a double slit. The distance between the slits is 4.0 x 10-4 meter, and the width of each slit is negligible. Henry places a screen 4.0 meters away from the slits. Calculate the distance between two adjacent bright fringes on the screen in millimeters. Give your answer with two decimal places please.
