Question
2.DVD players use red lasers with a wavelength of 650 nm, while Blu-ray players use blue lasers (hence the name) with a wavelength of 405 nm.
1. Which color would need a larger double slit spacing d to produce an interference pattern that has the first maxima 1 mm from the central bright spot?

Answer:
Blue light
Explanation:
For maxima interference we have the relation
where
m = order
d = Slit gap
we have the relation
y = First maxima = 1 mm (fixed)
D = Distance to screen = 1 m (fixed)
So, the wavelength
needed should be larger.
Hence, the blue light which has higher wavelength of 650 nm is to be used as it requires larger double slit spacing.
