Question: Two narrow slits separated by $0.10 \mathrm{~mm}$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $600 \mathrm{~nm}$. What is the angular position of the first maximum in the interference pattern? If a detector is located $2.00 \mathrm{~m}$ beyond the slits, what is the distance between the central maximum and the first maximum?
