Wouldn't this problem have 3 unknowns and 2 equations? Also, my teacher just sent the answer. I don't understand how he did it. The steps he used to solve the circuit contradict what's written in my textbook.

I forgot to post the redrawn circuit when I was finding the open circuit voltage.
So V1 just ends up being V thevenin.

I labeled 2 nodes because I was trying to determine the current flowing through the wire I...
How is it not for the load resistor? Doesn't the TEC process involve removing the component and measuring the voltage across an open terminal and current through a short circuit?
Do you mean turn off the independent sources and simply combine the resistors? I'm pretty sure you can't do that when there is a dependent source.
Why is it for the wrong circuit?
Sorry about that. I was originally going to ask for help on another problem, but I solved it. I forgot to change the title. Also, I'm pretty sure I got the right answer for the Thevenin voltage.

Single slit diffraction
Homework Statement
Red light of wavelength 633nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.390mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 3.00m away. Define the width of a bright fringe as the distance between the minima on either side.
