In a single slit diffraction, the slit is illuminated with light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$. If the slit were illuminated by a light of wavelength $\lambda$ the angular width of the central maximum decreases by $30 \%$. Then $\lambda$ is (in $\text{ Å}$)

  • A
    $6000$
  • B
    $4200$
  • C
    $3000$
  • D
    $1800$
