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

Two slits are illuminated with red light (2 = 650 nm). The slits are 0.25 mm apart and the
distance to the screen is 1.25 m. What fraction of the maximum intensity on the screen is
the intensity measured at a distance 3.0 mm from the central maximum?
