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

The diffraction pattern from a single slit of width 0.020mm is viewed on a screen. If the screen is 1.2m from the slit and light of wavelength430nm is used, what is the width of the central maximum?
