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

Cody is experimenting with single slit diffraction. Cody shines a blue monochromatic light with a
wavelength of 498 nm through a single slit, and observes that the first minimum occurs at an
angle of 40.0° from central maximum. Determine the width of the slit in nanometers, with no
decimal places please.
