Answer

$691\ nm$

Work Step by Step

It is given that: width of slit $a=22\ \mu m$ incident angle $\theta = 1.80^{\circ}$ Also, m=1 Condition for the single slit diffraction is; $a\ \sin\theta = m\lambda$ We rearrange the formula to find the wavelength: $\lambda = \frac{a\ \sin\theta}{m}$ $\lambda = \frac{220\mu m\ \times \sin 1.8^{\circ}}{1}$ $\lambda=6.91\times10^{-7}$ $\lambda = 691\ nm$
