a. Show that the number of bright fringes seen under the central diffraction peak in a Fraunhofer double-slit pattern is given by 2(a/b) − 1, where a/b is the ratio of slit separation to slit width.


b. If 13 bright fringes are seen in the central diffraction peak when the slit width is 0.30 mm, determine the slit separation.
