The only thing is I'm confused about L. The question didn't provide a value for L, and I have two unknowns (L, and the fringe spacing) so I feel like I'm using the wrong equation. However, because I couldn't find a better equation I set L to 1.
(Also, thank you for your help.)

A double-slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength 600 nm. The bright interference fringes are spaced 1.8 mm apart on the viewing screen. What will the fringe spacing be if the light is changed to a wavelength of 400 nm?

Wait a minute you're right, I made a unit error.
If I convert the ns to s, and then proceed with the process it should make a difference in my answer.
So, if 0.3m/1.38s = 0.21739m/s <= that would be my speed of light in the material.
Then, I could figure out the frequency using the wavelength...
