Early investigators (including Thomas Young) measured the thickness of wool fibers using diffraction. One early instrument used a collimated beam of 560 nm light to produce a diffraction pattern on a screen placed 30 cm from a single wool fiber.

If the fiber's diameter was 18 μm, what was the width of the central maximum on the screen?
