    How Does Path Difference Affect Interference Patterns in Light Waves?

    Is the answers 1) 0, 2) 699nm, 3) 1048.85? I believe that the the center is a maxima and Q is the next maxima so that is one full wavelength. R is a minima right after the first maxima so it is 699+349.5 = 1048.85nm. Please get back to me thank you.
