Title
Light from a red laser passes through a single slit to form a diffraction pattern. If the width of the slit is increased by a factor of two, what happens to the width of the central maximum?
In an experiment, the distance from one slit to the third dark fringe is found to be 2.200 046 8 m. If the wavelength of the light being shone through the two slits is 590 nm, calculate the distance from the second slit to this same dark fringe.
