A Young's double-slit apparatus is set up where a screen is positioned 0.80 m from the double slits. If the distance between alternating bright fringes is 0.83 cm, and the light source has a wavelength of 580 nm, what is the separation of the double slits? (1 nm = 10-9 m)
 a. 6.0  10-5 m
  c. 4.9  10-5 m
  b. 2.8  10-5 m
  d. 5.6  10-5 m
