shows the interference pattern on a screen behind an diffraction grating. What is the wavelength (in ) of the light?

shows the light intensity on a screen behind a double slit. The slit spacing is and the screen is behind the slits. What is the wavelength (in ) of the light?

Two wide slits spaced apart are illuminated by blue laser light with a wavelength of . The interference pattern is observed on a screen behind the slits. How many bright fringes are seen in the central maximum that spans the distance between the first missing order on one side and the first missing order on the other side?
Narrow, bright fringes are observed on a screen behind a diffraction grating. The entire experiment is then immersed in water. Do the fringes on the screen get closer together, get farther apart, remain the same, or disappear? Explain.
