In a double slit experiment the distance between the slits is 5.0mm and the slits are the 1.0m from the viewing screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen one due to light with wavelength 480nm and the other due to light with wavelength 600nm. What is the separation on the screen between first order interference fringes of the two different patterns
