You just won a brand new laser pen and you want to know the wavelength of the light, so you set up Young’s double-slit experiment and observe the interference pattern on screen 1.2 meters away from the slits. The slits are 0.25 mm apart and you measure the distance between the centers of the first dark fringes on either side of the central maximum to be 3 mm. What is the wavelength of your new laser? If visible, what color should it appear, if not visible state the region of the EM spectrum?

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
