Chapter 36 Problem #9 Diffraction

A slit 1.00mm wide is illuminated by light of wavelength 589nm. We see a diffraction pattern on a screen 3.00m away. What is the distance between the first two diffraction minima on the same side of the central diffraction maximum?

Hi Federico! Welcome to MHB! :)

Which formula do you have that applies to diffraction patterns?
