To solve the problem of finding the spacing between the two slits in a double slit experiment, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between angular width, wavelength, and slit spacing In a double slit experiment, the angular width (θ) of the fringe is related to the wavelength (λ) of the light and the spacing between the slits (d) by the formula: \[ \theta = \frac{\lambda}{d} \] Where: ...
