$A$ slit of width $a$ is illuminated by white light. For red light $(\lambda = 6500 \; \mathring{A})$,the first minima is obtained at $\theta = 30^\circ$. Then the value of $a$ will be

In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is reduced. What happens to the linear width of the principal maxima?

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.)

In a single slit diffraction pattern,identify the incorrect statement from the following.
