$A$ single slit Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is formed with white light. For what wavelength of light does the third secondary maximum in the diffraction pattern coincide with the second secondary maximum in the pattern for red light of wavelength $6500 Å$ (in $Å$)?

In a Fraunhofer diffraction experiment at a single slit using light of wavelength $400 \ nm$,the first minimum is formed at an angle of $30^{\circ}$. The direction $\theta'$ of the first secondary maximum is given by

In a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern,the slit width is $0.5 \ mm$ and the screen is at $2 \ m$ away from the lens. If the wavelength of the light used is $5500 \ Å$,then the distance between the first minima on either side of the central maximum is (assume $\theta$ is small and measured in radians). (in $mm$)

In a Fraunhofer diffraction of a single slit, when a slit is illuminated by a light of wavelength $6480 \text{ Å}$, the angular width of the central maximum is measured. When the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength '$\lambda$',the angular width decreases by $25\%$. The value of '$\lambda$' in $\text{Å}$ is:

What will be the angular width of the central maxima in Fraunhofer diffraction when light of wavelength $6000 \,\mathring{A}$ is used and the slit width is $12 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$? (in $rad$)
