Hey mate,

◆ Answer- π/6 rad

◆ Explaination-
# Given-
λ = 550 nm = 5.5×10^-7 m
d = 22×10^-5 cm = 22×10^-7 m

# Solution-
Let θ be the angular position of second minima from central maxima-
sinθ = 2λ / d
sinθ = (2 × 5.5×10^-7) / (2.2×10^-7)
sinθ = 1/2

Taking sin inverse-
θ = 30°
θ = π/6 rad

Therefore, angular position of second minima from central maxima is π/6 rad.

Hope this is helpful...
