$A$ screen is placed $0.5 \,m$ away from a single slit which is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$. If the distance between the first and third minima in the diffraction pattern on the screen is $3 \,mm$, then the slit width is: (in $\,mm$)

  • A
    $0.1$
  • B
    $0.4$
  • C
    $0.3$
  • D

Through a narrow slit of width $2 \,mm$, a diffraction pattern is formed on a screen kept at a distance $2 \,m$ from the slit. The wavelength of the light used is $6330 \mathring{A}$ and it falls normal to the slit and screen. Then, the distance between the two minima on either side of the central maximum is (in $\,mm$)
