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

A diffraction pattern is formed by a single slit such that θ=40°, for m = 1. If this pattern is formed by a light whose wavelength is 440 nm, how wide is the opening of the slit?
