In a double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet with a refractive index of 1.6 and thickness of 1.964 µm covers one of the slits. The mica sheet is then removed and the slits-to-screen distance is doubled so that the new fringe width is the same as the observed fringe shift with the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used.
