Problem

A narrow slit of width 0.10 mm0.10\,\text{mm} is submerged in water (index of refraction n=1.33n=1.33) and illuminated with monochromatic light from an unknown source. A screen 1.5 m1.5\,\text{m} away shows the first dark fringe at a distance of 4.0 mm4.0\,\text{mm} from the center of the pattern. What is the wavelength of the light in air? a) 472 nm472\ \text{nm} b) 354 nm354\ \text{nm} c) 267 nm267\ \text{nm} d) 532 nm532\ \text{nm}
