The first diffraction minimum due to the single slit diffraction is seen at $\theta = 30^o$ for a light of wavelength $5000 \,\mathring{A}$ falling perpendicularly on the slit. The width of the slit is

  • A
    $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \,\text{cm}$
  • B
    $1.25 \times 10^{-5} \,\text{cm}$
  • C
    $10 \times 10^{-5} \,\text{cm}$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \,\text{cm}$
