Single-slit diffraction — UPSC Physics Optional CSE 1990 Paper I

A single, slit of width 0.14\text{ mm} is illuminated normally by monochromatic light and diffraction bands are observed on a screen 2\text{ m} away. If the centre of the second dark band is 1.6\text{ cm} from the middle of the central bright band deduce the wavelength of light.
