In Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, slit width is $0.2 \, mm$ and screen is at $2 \, m$ away from the lens. If wavelength of light used is $5000 \, \mathring{A}$, then the distance between the first minimum on either side of the central maximum is (assume $\theta$ is small and measured in radians).

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. Fresnel's diffraction pattern occurs when the source of light or the screen on which the diffraction pattern is seen, or when both are at a finite distance from the aperture.
$B$. Diffracted light can be used to estimate the helical structure of nucleic acids.

The Fraunhofer spectrum is a
