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

Young's experiment with a single-colour source is conducted in a high school lab room. It is
discovered that the 5th minimum is 12.8 cm from the central maximum. The wavelength of
light used is 450 nm, and the slits are separated by 0.30 mm. How far away is the screen?
