Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

4) The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is
0.35 mm with the screen 40 cm away from the slit, when light of wavelength 550 nm is used.

b)|Calculate the angle 0 (in degrees) of the first diffraction minimum.
