Solution Preview
The diagram is in the attached file.
From geometry
d/x=s/l
or x= d l /s------------- Equation (1)
where x is the position of dark fringe
The condition for destructive interference is 2d= m lambda where m=0,1,2
First dark fringe will be for m=0
or 2d=0 or d=0 that is at the contact point
The second dark fringe will be at m=1 or 2d=lambda
or d= lambda /2
The third dark fringe will be ...
