Two wavelengths of sodium light of 590 n...

Two wavelengths of sodium light of 590 nm nd 596 nm are used in turn to study the diffraction taking place at a single slit of aperture `2 xx 10 ^(-6)m`.Calculate the separation between the positions of first maxima of the diffraction pattern obtained in the two cases.
