Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

In a Young's double slit experiment the two slits are 0.044 mm apart and
the screen is 2.34 m away from the slits. If the wavelength of the light used
is 566 nm, then how far away from the central bright fringe will the second
order bright fringe be located (in cm)?
