  • A
    $\frac{d}{\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda}{d}$

When the frequency of the light used is changed from $4 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$ to $5 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$, the angular width of the principal (central) maximum in a single slit Fraunhofer diffraction pattern changes by $0.6 \ \text{radian}$. What is the width of the slit? (Assume that the experiment is performed in vacuum.)
