Light of wavelength 5000Å is diffracted ...

Light of wavelength 5000Å is diffracted through a slit 0.2 mm wide and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. It is found that the first minima lie at 5mm on either side of the central maximum on the screen. Determine the distance of the screen in metre from the slit.
