The small angle θ between two plane, adjacent reflecting surfaces is determined by examining the interference fringes produced in a Fresnel mirror experiment. A source slit is parallel to the intersection between the mirrors and 50 cm away. The screen is 1 m from the same intersection, measured along the normal to the screen. When illuminated with sodium light (589.3 nm), fringes appear on the screen with a spacing of 0.5 mm. What is the angle θ?
