1. White light used to illuminate the two slits in Young’s double slit experiment. The separation between the slits is d and the distance between the screen and the slit is $$D\left( { > > d} \right).$$   At a point on the screen in front of one of the slits, certain wavelengths are missing. The missing wavelengths are
