Find the correct condition$(s)$ for Fraunhofer diffraction due to a single slit.

What will be the angular width of the central maxima in Fraunhofer diffraction when light of wavelength $6000 \,\mathring{A}$ is used and the slit width is $12 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$? (in $rad$)

In the Fraunhofer diffraction experiment, $L$ is the distance between the screen and the obstacle, $b$ is the size of the obstacle, and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the incident light. The general condition for the applicability of Fraunhofer diffraction is:

The distance for which ray optics becomes a good approximation for an aperture of $0.3 \ cm$ and a light of wavelength $6000 \ Å$ is (in $m$)

For an aperture of $5 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ and a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$, the distance for which ray optics becomes a good approximation is $50 \ m$, then $\lambda=$ (in $\text{Å}$)
