Procedure
Set Distance between slits to 0.01 mm. This will be the slit separation for the entire Exploration.
Set Distance to projector screen to 1.0 m. This will be the screen distance for the entire Exploration.
Set Wavelength of light to 400 nm. Use the ruler to measure the distance between maxima, and record this distance in Table 1.

1. describe how varying the wavelength changes the distance between maxima.
2. What other change occurs as one varies wavelength? Explain.
