To solve the problem, we need to find the wavelength (λ) given the path difference (Δ) and the relationship between the path difference and the wavelength. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship**: We know that the path difference (Δ) is given as 171.5 times the wavelength (λ). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \Delta = 171.5 \lambda \] ...
