In a single slit diffraction experiment,for a wavelength of light $\lambda$,the half-angular width of the central maxima is $\theta$. For a wavelength of light $p\lambda$,the half-angular width of the central maxima is $q\theta$. What is the ratio of the half-angular widths of the first secondary maxima in the first case to the second case?

Orange light of wavelength $6000 \times 10^{-10} \ m$ illuminates a single slit of width $0.6 \times 10^{-4} \ m$. The maximum possible number of diffraction minima produced on both sides of the central maximum is $........$
