Consider the diffraction pattern obtained from the sunlight incident on a pinhole of diameter $0.1 \, \mu m$. If the diameter of the pinhole is slightly increased,it will affect the diffraction pattern such that :

  • A
    its size decreases,and intensity decreases
  • B
    its size increases,and intensity increases
  • C
    its size increases,but intensity decreases
  • D
    its size decreases,but intensity increases
