Might have had a typo. You're closer. It should come out to 0.0834

yes, that was in degrees.

angle is approx .088 right?

Brain fart. m1 should equal 6 when λ1= 425nm. That results in 2550. As a result when λ2= 510nm, m2 should equal 5, resulting in 2550.

Okay, I'm not sure if my math skills/reasoning are garbage right now, but I got m1λ1=m2λ2 to equal 425 nm using m1=1 and m2=0.8333333333 This leads me back to getting that angle of .0139°. unless I've gone stupid, that is the actual angle right?

Hahah. Haven't gotten to it. But I also checked with physics major friend and I think I understand the process now. We'll see when I go about answering. I'll update with what I came up with after dinner.

Homework Statement So, my physics professor has been behind all semester long and basically taught the entire light wave and optics chapters in a single day and explained absolutely nothing, hence massive confusion on the following problem:[In a double-slit experiment, the slit separation is...
