Question

Consider the interference pattern produced by two parallel slits of width “a” and separation “d”, in which d = 3a. 
The screen is 1m away from the slits and the slits are 1mm apart from each other. The slits are illuminated by 
normally incident light of wavelength 632nm. 
(a) First we ignore diffraction effects due to the slit width. Find the positions of the first 4 interference maxima on either side of the central interference maximum on the screen.
