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.

A slit 1.45 mm wide is illuminated by light of wavelength 476 nm. We see a diffraction pattern on a screen 3.66 m away. What is the
