Angular width of central maximum in diffraction at a single slit is……………. .

A single slit of width b is illuminated by a coherent monochromatic light of wavelength lambda . If the second and fourth minima in the diffraction pattern at a distance 1 m from the slit are at 3 cm and 6 cm respectively from the central maximum, what is the width of the central maximum ? (i.e., distance between first minimum on either side of the central maximum)

Light of wavelength 420 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum on one side of the central maximum and the first minimum on the other side is 2.00^(@) . What is the width of the slit?

Light of wavelength 633 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum on one side of the central maximum and the first minimum on the other side is 1.20 What is the width of the slit?

A monochromatic light of wavelength lambda is incident normally on a narrow slit of width a to produce a diffraction pattern on the screen placed at a distacne D from the slit. With the help of a relevant diagram, deduce the condition for maxima and minima on the screen. use these condition to show that angular width of central maximum is twice the angular width of secondary maximum.
