Monochromatic electromagnetic radiation from a distant source passes through a slit.The diffraction pattern is observed on the screen 2.5 m from the slit. If the width of the central maximum is 6.01 mm, what is the slit width if the wavelength is:- 50mum (infrared radiation)

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60^@ . The width of the slit is 1 mu m. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young’s fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e., distance between the centres of each slit.)
