Two parallel slits are illuminated by light composed of two wavelengths. One wavelength is λA = 657 nm. The other wavelength is λB and is unknown. On a viewing screen, the light with wavelength λA = 657 nm produces its fifth-order bright fringe at the same place where the light with wavelength λB produces its sixth dark fringe. The fringes are counted relative to the central or zeroth-order bright fringe. What is the unknown wavelength in nm?

A single slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an angle of 40.0° from central maximum, when monochromatic light of 590-nm wavelength is used.
