$A$ slit of width $a$ is illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength $650 \ nm$. The value of the slit width $a$ when the first minimum is formed at a diffraction angle of $30^\circ$ is:

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^{-5} \ m$
  • B
    $1.3 \times 10^{-3} \ m$
  • C
    $1.3 \times 10^3 \ m$
  • D
    $1.3 \times 10^{-6} \ m$
