The conditional statement used to specify a new condition if the first condition is false is called "else if" or "elif" in some programming languages.

Here is a step by step explanation:

1. In programming, a conditional statement is used to perform different actions based on different conditions. This is often referred to as "if-then" logic.

2. The "if" statement is used to specify a block of code to be executed if a specified condition is true.

3. If that condition is false, the program can be written to test another condition.

4. This is done using the "else if" statement (often shortened to "elif" in languages like Python).

5. The "else if" statement allows you to check multiple conditions and execute different code blocks for each condition.

6. If the condition in the "if" statement is false, the condition in the "else if" statement is checked. If the "else if" condition is true, its associated code block is executed.

7. If the "else if" condition is also false, the program can be written to test another condition, and so on.

8. Finally, an "else" statement can be used to specify a block of code to be executed if all the "if" and "else if" conditions are false.
