(D) For a single slit diffraction,the condition for the $n^{th}$ minima is given by $a \sin \theta = n \lambda$.Here,$a = 10^{-3} \ mm = 10^{-6} \ m$,$\lambda = 5 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,and for the first minima,$n = 1$.Substituting the values,we get $\sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{a} = \frac{1 \times 5 \times 10^{-7} \ m}{10^{-6} \ m}$.$\sin \theta = \frac{5 \times 10^{-7}}{10 \times 10^{-7}} = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2}$.Therefore,the angle of diffraction is $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$.
