Problem

In a double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, the first minimum is observed at an angle of 2.0∘2.0^{\circ} from the central maximum. Keeping the slit separation the same, the two slits are replaced by five identical, equally spaced slits. Calculate the angle (in degrees) at which the first minimum now occurs.
