Problem
A source emits two wavelengths,
λ
1
=
600
nm
\lambda_{1} = 600\,\text{nm}
λ
1
=
600
nm
and
λ
2
=
450
nm
\lambda_{2} = 450\,\text{nm}
λ
2
=
450
nm
. Find the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes of both wavelengths coincide. The separation between the slits is
1.0
mm
1.0\,\text{mm}
1.0
mm
and the screen is
1.0
m
1.0\,\text{m}
1.0
m
away.
