$A$ light wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$. If the linear width of the principal maxima is equal to the width of the slit,then the distance $D$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{d}{\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \lambda}{d}$
  • C
    $\frac{d^{2}}{2 \lambda}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \lambda^{2}}{d}$
