A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. light waves arrive at the two slits in phase, and a fringe pattern is observed on a screen 4.8 m from the slits. if there are 6.0 complete bright fringes per centimeter on the screen near the center of the pattern, what is the wavelength of the monochromatic light?

For the bright fringes to appear the difference in the path traveled must be multiple of the wavelength: 
[tex]dsin(\theta)=m\lambda[/tex]
Using approximation when y is much smaller than L:
[tex]sin(\theta)= \frac{y}{L}[/tex]
We get: 
[tex]y=\frac{m\lambda L}{d}[/tex]
Which means that distance between two bright fringes is: 
[tex] \Delta y= \frac{\lambda L }{d} [/tex]
We know that in our case the distance between two bright fringes is: 
[tex]\Delta y=\frac{1cm}{6}=0.166cm[/tex]
[tex]\lambda=\frac{\Delta y d}{L}=6.2475\cdot10^{-7}m=624.75nm[/tex]
