Homework Equations
y=L*tan(theta)
m*(lambda)=d*sin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
Lambda = 640 nm = 6.4x10^-4 mm
m*(lambda)=d*sin(theta)
1*(6.4x10^-4 mm) = (0.25 mm)*sin(theta)
theta = 0.15 degrees
y = L*tan(theta)
This is where I am not sure. I know I need to plug in y and theta. But I think my y value is wrong. How can I know for sure what the distance between the maxima are? The graph that is given seems to be too poor to tell.
