Since, 1st order reflection is observed at an angle $(3.4)^0$

According to reflection formula,

nλ = 2d sinӨ

So, for 1st order reflection

1λ = 2 d sin3.4

λ/d = 2 x sin3.4=0.1186

Hence for 2nd order reflection,

2λ = 2d sinӨ

sinӨ = 0.1186

Ө = 6.81

Hence, 2nd order reflection is to be expected at $(6.81)^0$
