$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength $5 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width $10^{-3} \ mm$. At what angle of diffraction is the first minima observed?

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}(1)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
