Step 1 :We are given the following values: the distance from the slits to the screen, \(L = 3.93 \, \text{m}\), the wavelength of the light, \(\lambda = 631 \, \text{nm} = 631 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}\), and the distance between the slits, \(d = 1.03 \, \text{mm} = 1.03 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}\).
Step 2 :We substitute these values into the formula for the position of the first bright fringe, \(y_{bright} = L \times \lambda \times m_{bright} / d\), where \(m_{bright} = 1\).
Step 3 :We then convert the result from meters to millimeters by multiplying by 1000, giving us the position of the first bright fringe in millimeters.
Step 4 :We substitute the given values into the formula for the position of the second dark fringe, \(y_{dark} = L \times \lambda \times (m_{dark} + 0.5) / d\), where \(m_{dark} = 1\).
Step 5 :We then convert the result from meters to millimeters by multiplying by 1000, giving us the position of the second dark fringe in millimeters.
Step 6 :The first bright fringe is approximately \(\boxed{2.41 \, \text{mm}}\) from the central bright fringe, and the second dark fringe is approximately \(\boxed{3.61 \, \text{mm}}\) from the central bright fringe.
