Angular width of central maximum in the ...

Angular width of central maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a slit is measured. The slit is illuminated by light of wavelength `6000Å`. When the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength, the angular width decreases by `30%`. Calculate the wavelength of this light. The same decrease in the angular width of central maximum is obtained when the original apparatus is immersed in a liquid. Find the refractive index of the liquid.
