Coherent electromagnetic waves with wavelength λ=500nm pass through two identical slits. The width of each slit is aa, and the distance between the centers of the slits is d=9.00mm.
a.What is the smallest possible width aa of the slits if the m=3 maximum in the interference pattern is not present?
b.What is the next larger value of the slit width for which the m=3 maximum is absent?
