$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \mathring{A}$ is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width $0.001 \text{ mm}$. The light is focused by a convex lens on a screen placed on its focal plane. The first minima will be formed for the angle of diffraction of . . . . . . (degree).
