In Young's double slit experiment, the screen is kept 1.6 m from the slits. The coherent sources are 0.032 cm apart and fringes are observed on the screen. It is found that with a certain monochromatic source of light, the fourth bright fringe is situated at a distance of 1.06 cm from the central fringe. The wavelength of the light used is
