Light of wavelength $580 \text{ nm}$ is incident normally on a slit of width '$a$'. The distance between the slit and the screen is $2.5 \text{ m}$ and the distance of the second order maximum from the centre of the screen is $14.5 \text{ mm}$ in a diffraction pattern. The value of '$a$' is

Two slits are $1 \,mm$ apart and the screen is located $1 \,m$ away from the slits. $A$ light of wavelength $500 \,nm$ is used.
