A slit 0.370 mm wide is illuminated by parallel rays of light that have a wavelength of 530 nm . The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 1.50 m from the slit. The intensity at the center of the central maximum (θ=0∘) is I0.

Part a is solved but I'm having difficulty with part b.

a) What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum? ANSWER: 2.1mm

b) What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central maximum to the point where the intensity has fallen to I02? (Use trial and error or solve it graphically.)
