Light of wavelength 633 nm is incident on a pair of identical stits of width 0.2mm and center-to-center separation of 2mm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at distance 5m. Calculate the spacing between zeros of intensity (in mm to 2 d.p.); and which is the lowest-numbered peak (counting up from zero at the centre) which has less than half the intensity of the zeroth peak: (Hint: sinc(?/2)=2/?(pi/2)=2/pi). The spacing is:      and the number of the peak with less than half central intensity is:
