$A$ single slit of width $d$ is illuminated by violet light of wavelength $400 \ nm$ and the width of the diffraction pattern is measured as $Y$. When half of the slit width is covered and illuminated by yellow light of wavelength $600 \ nm$,the width of the diffraction pattern is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{Y}{3}$
  • C
    $3 Y$
  • D
    $4 Y$
