In a Young's double-slit experiment, blue light (?λ = 440 m) gives a second-order bright fringe at a certain location on a flat screen.  What wavelength of visible light would produce a dark fringe at the same location?  Assume that the range of visible wavelengths extends from 380 to 750 nm. A sketch of the initial physical situation with all given physical quantities you will be using to solve this problem clearly labeled, even if their values are and will remain undetermined.  A sketch of the final physical situation with all given physical quantities you will be using to solve this problem clearly labeled as above.
