Calculating Fringe Distance with Multiple Wavelengths and Slit Spacing

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the distance on the screen between the third order red fringe and the third order yellow-green fringe, the relevant parameters include the slit separation of 0.158 mm, wavelengths of red light (665 nm) and yellow-green light (565 nm), and the distance to the observation screen (2.24 m). The formula for fringe separation in a double-slit experiment is used, which incorporates these variables. Participants discuss the necessary calculations and the application of the formula to find the specific fringe distances. The final result will provide the separation between the specified fringes on the observation screen. This calculation is essential for understanding interference patterns in physics.

Two slits are 0.158 mm apart. A mixture of red light wavelength = 665 nm and yellow green light wavelength = 565 nm falls on the slits. A flat observation screen is located 2.24 m away What's the distance on the screen between the third order red fringe and the third order yellow green fringe?

Thanks

What have you tried to start out with?
 
d is given
D is give
wavelenghts are given
what else you want to solve this problem :-)
 
What formula used for this problem neo143? I'm studying for the physics replacement and there are 15 sample problems

Thank you,

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
