Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits 1mm1\mathrm{mm}1mm apart with a light source (λ=632.8nm)(\lambda =632.8\mathrm{nm})(λ=632.8nm). The distance between the screen and the slits is 100cm100\mathrm{cm}100cm. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at distance of 1.27mm1.27\mathrm{mm}1.27mm from the central bright fringe, then the path difference between the waves, which are reaching this point from the slits is close to :
