In a double slit experiment the distance between the slits is 0.50 mm and the slits are 1.5 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light with wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm. What is the separation on the screen between the third order (m=3) of the bright fringes of the two interference patterns ? [d sin0 = m2 ; m= 0, 1, 2, 3, ....... For bright maxima ]
