A Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is produced on a screen 218 cm from a single slit. The distance from the center of the central maximum to the first-order maximum is 7620 times the wavelength (lambda). Calculate the slit width. Answer in __m


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I have no idea how to even start this problem but this is what I tried.

7620 = (1.5 * 2.18)/a where a is the slit width.
This was not correct. I would really appreciate any kind of help on this!
