Coherent microwaves of wavelength 5.00 cm enter a tall, narrow window in a building
Coherent microwaves of wavelength 5.00 cm enter a tall, narrow window in a building otherwise essentially opaque to the microwaves. if the window is 36.0 cm wide, what is the distance from the central maximum to the first-order minimum along a wall 6.50 m from the window?

The solution for this problem is:
For 1st minimum, let m be equal to 1.
d = slit width
D = screen distance.
Θ = arcsin (m * lambda/ (d))
= 0.13934 rad, 7.9836 deg
y = D*tan (Θ)
y = 6.50 * tan (7.9836)
= 0.91161 m is the distance from the central maximum to the first-order minimum
The answer is C. If you put a pot of water in a vacuum and remove the air, the water will boil.
