Question

750 nm
630 nm
500 nm

Solution
420 nm
Explanation:
Position of nth bright fringe,
`y_n = (nlambdaD)/d`
Given: λ = 700 nm
∴ `y_3 = (3 xx 700 xx D)/d`
⇒ `y_3 = (2100D)/d`
The 5th bright fringe due to light of wavelength λ' is formed at y3,
∴ y5 = y3
or `(5 xx lambda^'D)/d = (2100 nmD)/d`
⇒ `lambda^' = 2100/5` = 420 nm
