We don't know for sure when any of the plagues took place. The last plague was the death of the first born.

Death of the Egyptian firstborn sons.

In the Exodus, Moses brought the Israelites out of the Egyptian slavery under the guidance of God, after God brought plagues upon the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1-12). After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.

Egypt's turmoil is also borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus, which mentions a number of the Plagues ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.

Why was pharaoh afraid of the people in Israel?

It is unclear what Pharaoh is being referred to in the question, but no Pharaoh in the Old Testament was ever afraid of the People of Israel. The Pharaoh in the Exodus Account was not even that fearful of the Israelite God. The Pharaohs in the later periods (during the time of the Divided Kingdoms) openly mocked Judeans and Judah sought their protection as a vassal state.

What happened during the first Passover?

Read the Book of Exodus in the Bible. The first Passover was the night of the tenth plague. After Pharaoh refused to let the people of Israel go even after nine plagues, Moses informed Pharaoh that God would kill all Egyptian firstborns. The people of Israel were told to kill a lamb and put its blood on their doorpost. God "passed over" the houses with blood on the doorposts when killing firstborns. That night Pharaoh finally allowed (actually commanded) the people of Israel to leave Egypt. This freedom from slavery in order to serve God is celebrated by Jews every year, and has also been an inspiration for other people.
