Question: It is our intention to produce interference fringes by illuminating some sort of arrangement (Youngs Experiment, a thin film, the Michelson Interferometer, etc.) with light

It is our intention to produce interference fringes by illuminating some sort of arrangement (Young’s Experiment, a thin film, the Michelson Interferometer, etc.) with light at a mean wavelength of 500 nm, having a linewidth of 2.5 × 10-3 nm. At approximately what optical path length difference can you expect the fringes to vanish?
