For a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \(\lambda\), diffraction is produced by a single slit whose width \(a\) is much greater than the wavelength of the light. If \(D\) is the distance of the screen from the slit, the width of the central maxima will be:

1. \(\dfrac{2D\lambda}{a}\) 2. \(\dfrac{D\lambda}{a}\)
3. \(\dfrac{Da}{\lambda}\) 4. \(\dfrac{2Da}{\lambda}\)

In Young's-double slit experiment, the distance between the slits and the screen is doubled. The separation between the slits is reduced to half. As a result the fringe width:
1. is halved
2. become four times
3. remains unchanged
4. is doubled
