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

Light of wavelength 586.0 nm illuminates a slit of width 0.64 mm.

(a) At what distance from the slit should a screen be placed if the first minimum in the diffraction pattern is to be 0.93 mm from the central maximum? (in m)

(b) Calculate the width of the central maximum. (in mm)
