In a Fraunhofer diffraction due to a single slit,the diffraction pattern is formed on the focal plane of a lens of focal length $f = 1 \ m$. The width of the slit is $a = 0.3 \ mm$. If the third minimum is formed at a distance of $5 \ mm$ from the central maximum,find the wavelength of light in $\mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $5000$
  • B
    $4000$
  • C
    $2500$
  • D
    $3000$
