Answer:
The distance is [tex]d = 1.39 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 593 \ nm = 593 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is x = 4.80 m
The location of the fourth order bright fringe is y = 8.20 cm = 0.082 m
The order of the fringe is n = 4
Generally the position of a fringe with respect to the central fringe is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{ n * x * \lambda }{d}[/tex]
Where d is the distance between the slits, so making d the subject
[tex]d = \frac{\lambda * x * n }{ y }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]d = \frac{ 593 *10^{-9} * 4.80 * 4 }{ 0.082 }[/tex]
[tex]d = 1.39 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
