To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the position of bright fringes in a Young's double-slit experiment. The formula is given by: \[ y_n = \frac{n \cdot \lambda \cdot D}{d} \] Where: - \( y_n \) is the distance from the central maximum to the nth bright fringe, - \( n \) is the order of the fringe (in this case, \( n = 4 \)), - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of light, ...
