An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 600 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel slits separated by a distance (between centers) of 0.560 mm .

If the slits are very narrow, what would be the angular position of the first-order, two-slit, interference maxima?

What would be the angular position of the second-order, two-slit, interference maxima in this case?

Let the slits have a width 0.280 mm . In terms of the intensity I0 at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position of θ1?
