Solving Optics Diffraction Questions: Orders & Intensity Pattern

I have two questions here,

1. The two slits of a double slit each have a width of 0.140 mm and a distance between centers of 0.840 mm,
(a) What orders are missing?
(b) What is the approximate intensity of orders m=1 to m=3, relative to the zeroth-order maximum?

2. Sketch the intensity pattern for seven equally spaced slits having d/b = 3, Label points on the x-axis with the corresponding values of beta and gamma.


For the first question, doesn't the missing orders depend on the wavelength? I don't have any clue on what equation to use.
And for the second, I don't have any idea at all.
Please help me in solving the questions, thanks!

Welcome to PF.

Use the equations that deal with diffraction from slits. Your textbook or class notes should have these.
