Answer:

y = 33.93 10⁵ m

Explanation:

This is an interference exercise, for the contributory interference is described by the expression

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry for the angle

           tan θ = y / L

how the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos tea = sin θ

 

we substitute

         sin θ = y / L

        d y / L = m λ

         y = m λ L / d

the light fulfills the relation of the waves

       c = λ f

       λ = c / f

       λ = 3 10⁸ /375

       λ = 8 10⁵ m

first order m = 1

let's calculate

        y = 1  8 10⁵  4030 10-9 / 950 10-9

        y = 33.93 10⁵ m
