The width of the central maximum of a diffraction pattern on a single slit does not depend upon:

$A$ diffraction pattern is obtained using a beam of red light. If the red light is replaced by blue light,then:

Two slits are $1 \,mm$ apart and the screen is located $1 \,m$ away from the slits. $A$ light of wavelength $500 \,nm$ is used. The width of each slit to obtain $10$ maxima of the double slit pattern within the central maximum of the single slit pattern is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \times 10^{-4} \,m$.

$A$ monochromatic light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$ is incident on a single slit of width $0.01 \text{ mm}$. If the diffraction pattern is formed at the focus of a convex lens of focal length $20 \text{ cm}$, the linear width of the central maximum is: (in $\text{ mm}$)
