In an experiment,electrons are made to pass through a narrow slit of width $'d'$ comparable to their de-Broglie wavelength. They are detected on a screen at a distance $'D'$ from the slit (see figure). Which of the following graphs can be expected to represent the number of electrons $'N'$ detected as a function of the detector position $'y'$ ($y = 0$ corresponds to the middle of the slit)?

Angular width of the central maximum of a diffraction pattern due to a single slit does not depend upon:

Two slits are made $1 \; mm$ apart and the screen is placed $1 \; m$ away. What should the width of each slit be to obtain $10$ maxima of the double-slit pattern within the central maximum of the single-slit pattern (in $; mm$)? Blue-green light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used.

In the diffraction pattern of a single slit,the width of the secondary maxima compared to the central maximum is:
