A) λ = 548 nm.

B ) 5.474 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

Explanation:

Distance between two slits ( d ) =.044 x 10⁻³

Distance of screen ( D ) = 6.5 m

Fringe width is given by the expression

Fringe width = λ D /d

where λ is wave length of light .

Given fringe width = 8.1 cm

Putting the values in the equation , we have

8.1 x 10⁻² = λ x 6.5 / .044 x 10⁻³

\lambda = \frac{8.1\times10^{-2}\times.044\times10^{-3}}{6.5}

λ = 548 nm.

Frequency of light = velocity of light / wavelength

3 x 10⁸ / 548 x 10⁻⁹

= 5.474 x 10¹⁴ Hz.
