In the diffraction pattern, the first maximum is at $30^{\circ}$, when a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $a$. For the same wavelength, if the slit width is changed, so that the first maximum is at $45^{\circ}$, by how much is the slit width changed?

$A$ monochromatic light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$ is incident on a single slit of width $0.01 \text{ mm}$. If the diffraction pattern is formed at the focus of a convex lens of focal length $20 \text{ cm}$, the linear width of the central maximum is: (in $\text{ mm}$)
