The angular width of the central maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction for \(\lambda=6000~\mathrm{\mathring{A}}\)  is \(\theta_0\). When the same slit is illuminated by another monochromatic light, the angular width decreases by \(30\%\). The wavelength of this light is:
1. \(1800~\mathrm{\mathring{A}}\)
2. \(4200~\mathrm{\mathring{A}}\)
3. \(420~\mathrm{\mathring{A}}\)
4. \(6000~\mathrm{\mathring{A}}\)

In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width \(a\), the first minimum is observed at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) when the light of wavelength \(5000~\mathring{\text{A}}\) is incident on the slit. The first secondary maximum is observed at an angle of:
1. \(\text{sin}^{-1}\frac{2}{3}\)
2. \(\text{sin}^{-1}\frac{1}{2}\)
3. \(\text{sin}^{-1}\frac{3}{4}\)

For a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \(\lambda\), diffraction is produced by a single slit whose width \(a\) is much greater than the wavelength of the light. If \(D\) is the distance of the screen from the slit, the width of the central maxima will be:
1. \(\frac{2D\lambda}{a}\)
2. \(\frac{D\lambda}{a}\)
3. \(\frac{Da}{\lambda}\)
4. \(\frac{2Da}{\lambda}\)
