Using Young's Double Slit Formula of y(bright) = λLm/d can solve this problem
For this problem, it must be realized that we are asked to find where y(bright) will be the same for two different wavelengths (λ) and two differentscreen Distances (L). The order (m) and the slit distance (d) will remain the same.
The first wavelength of 1064 nm is a distance L away from the screen
The second wavelenght of 1113 nm is L - 1.155 cm away, or 1.155 cm closer
Since y(bright) for situation 1 must equal y(bright) for situation 2, you can set the equations equal to each other
λ1Lm/d = λ2(L-1.115 X 10-2)m/d. The values of m and d will be the same on both sides of the equation and can be cancelled out leaving
(1064 X 10-9 L) = (1113 X 10-9) (L - 1.115 X 10-2)
Distribute on the right side of the equation
1064 X 10-9 L = 1113 X 10-9 L - 1.24 X 10-8
Solving for L provides...
1.24 X 10-8 = 4.9 X 10-8 L so L = .253 m or 25.3 cm
Measuring distances to high precision is a critical goal in
engineering. Numerous devices to exist to perform such
measurements, with many involving laser light. Shining light
through a double slit will provide such a ruler if (1) the
wavelength of the light beam and slit separation is known and (2)
the distance the minima/maxima appearing on the screen can be
measured. But this in itself requires a physical measurement of
distance on the object, which may not be practical. In...

A laser with wavelength d/8 is shining light on a double slit with slit separation 0.500 mm . This results in an interference pattern on a screen a distance L away from the slits. We wish to shine a second laser, with a different wavelength, through the same slits. What is the wavelength λ2 of the second laser that would place its second maximum at the same location as the fourth minimum of the first laser, if d = 0.500...

A student is measuring maxima and minima on a screen due to
coherent laser light (wavelength = 700 nm) incident upon two narrow
slits. The two slits are seperated by a distance, d. The screen is
2.0 m away from the two slits. The student is suppose to measure
the distance along the screen from a given maxima to the central
maximum. The student mistakenly measure the distance along the
screen, y from the m=+3 maxima on one side of...
