The condition for diffraction is

Light of wavelength $5000 \, \mathring{A}$ is incident on a single slit such that the first minima is formed at a distance $5 \, mm$ from the centre. If the screen is placed $2 \, m$ away,then find the width of the slit in $mm$.

In a single slit diffraction experiment, for wavelength $\lambda$, the half angular width of the central maximum is $\theta$. For a wavelength $p\lambda$, the half angular width of the central maximum is $q\theta$. What is the ratio of the half angular widths of the first secondary maximum in the first case to the second case?

In a single slit diffraction pattern, the distance between the first minimum on the left and the first minimum on the right is $5 \,mm$. The screen on which the diffraction pattern is obtained is at a distance of $80 \,cm$ from the slit. The wavelength used is $6000 \mathring{A}$. The width of the slit is (in $\,mm$)
