is the central fringe considered the first bright fringe or is the first adjacent one considered the first bright fringe? (1 Viewer)

my atomi quiz considers the adjacent one as the first one but then like other sources online say its the central bright fringe thats the first one - im confusde

not too sure exactly but id probably say the central is just the central cause its the zeroth order, and first is the adjacent one cause its first order. probably really dependent on wording though
