To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( m \) such that the 8th maximum of the first wavelength (450 nm) coincides with the \( m \)th maximum of the second wavelength (720 nm) in a Young's double-slit experiment. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition for Maxima**: In a Young's double-slit experiment, the condition for the nth maximum is given by: \[ x_n = n \lambda \frac{D}{d} ...
