To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the related concepts to the principle of overlap, specifically to single slit diffraction experiment concept.

Mathematically this can be expressed as:

dsin\theta = m\lambda

Where,

d = Width of the slit

\lambda =Wavelength

\theta = Angle relative to the original direction of the light

m = Any integer which represent the order of the equation (number of repetition of the spectrum)

To solve the problem we need to rearrange the equation and find the wavelength

\lambda = \frac{dsin\theta}{m}

Our values are given as,

d = 1.46\mu m = 1.46*10^{-6}m

\theta = 21\°

m = 1

Replacing in our equation we have,

\lambda = \frac{dsin\theta}{m}

\lambda = \frac{(1.46*10^{-6})sin(21)}{1}

\lambda = 5.232*10^{-7}m

\lambda = 523.2nm

Therefore the wavelength is 523.2nm
