Homework Statement



In a double slit experiment with slits 1. 10-5 m apart, light casts the first bright band 3.10-2 m from the center of a screen 0.65 m away what is the wavelength ?

Homework Equations



dsin(theta) = (m +1/2)lambda,

The Attempt at a Solution



I think to solve this problem I need the angle more to apply this formula

dsin(theta) = (m +1/2)lambda,

am I right, or maybe we can solve it without the angle ?

Thanks in advance

If you know the distance to the screen and the distance to the first fringe from the centre line then you have the angle information

Yess sure, thank you.
