To solve the problem step by step, we can use the formula for the position of the minima in Young's double-slit experiment. The position of the nth minima is given by the formula: \[ y_n = \left(n - \frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] Where: - \(y_n\) is the position of the nth minima from the central maximum, ...
