$A$ parallel beam of fast-moving electrons is incident normally on a narrow slit. $A$ fluorescent screen is placed at a large distance from the slit. If the speed of the electrons is increased,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The angular width of the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will increase.
  • B
    The angular width of the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will decrease.
  • C
    The angular width of the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will remain unchanged.
  • D
    The diffraction pattern will not be observed on the screen in the case of electrons.
