Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of light λ=687 nm.

width of the slit, w=0.75 mm.

The diffraction formula for single slit diffraction is;


Sin\theta=(m\lambda)/(w)

m here is an integer.

For small θ, sinθ≅ θ.

The formula changes to;


\theta=(m\lambda)/(w).

The data in the question is missing. However, one put data in the above formula to find the unknown.
