Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

Answer clearly this question for me. Monochromatic light is directed on a single slot 2.5 x 10-3 mm wide. If The angle between the first dark fringes (minimums) and the central maximum is 20°: A) calculates the wavelength of light. B) Determines the angular position of the second minimum
