Homework Statement
Microwaves of wavelength 2.80 cm fall on a slit and the central maximum at a distance of 1.0 m from the slit is found to have a half-width (i. e. distance from middle of central maximum to first minimum) of 0.67 m. Find the width of the slit.

Hint: Half width is half the distance between two maxima.
