\mathrm{d=0.6 \mathrm{~mm}, \quad D=80 \mathrm{~cm}}.

For dark fringe

\mathrm{y=(2 n-1) \frac{D \lambda}{2 d}}

For 1st dark \mathrm{n=1}

\mathrm{y=\frac{D \lambda}{2 d}}

\mathrm{0.3 \mathrm{~mm} =\frac{80 \mathrm{~cm} \times \lambda}{2 \times 0.6 \mathrm{~mm}}} \\

\mathrm{\lambda =450 \mathrm{~nm}}

Hence the answer is \mathrm{450 \mathrm{~nm}}
