Question

White light is passed through a double slit and interference is observed on a screen 1 . 5 m away. The separation between the slits is 0 . 3 mm . The first violet and red fringes are formed 2 . 0 mm and 3 . 5 mm away from the central white fringes. The difference in wavelengths of red and violet light is in nm .
