Light of wavelength (6.760x10^2) nm falls on two slits and produces an interferenc pattern in which the fourth-order fringe is (4.992x10^1) mm from the central fringe on a screen (1.46x10^0) m away. What is the separation of the two slits - in micrometres to 3 sf? Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.

Show that the angle 2 is given by 2=sin1(sin1md) where m is an integer.
