Chapter 35, Problem 36

A slit 0.240 mm wide is illuminated by parallel light rays of wavelength 540 nm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 3.00 m from the slit. The intensity at the center of the central maximum (u = 0°) is 6.00 x 10^-6 W/m2. (a) What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum?
