Answer

The angular deviation is $~~12.4^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We can find the angular deviation of the third-order bright fringe: $\theta_m = sin^{-1}~(\frac{m\lambda}{d})$ $\theta_3 = sin^{-1}~[\frac{(3)(550\times 10^{-9}~nm)}{7.70\times 10^{-6}~m}]$ $\theta_3 = 12.4^{\circ}$ The angular deviation is $~~12.4^{\circ}$
