In an experiment, electrons are made to pass through a narrow slit of width '$d$' comparable to their de Broglie wavelength. They are detected on a screen at a distance '$D$' from the slit (see figure). Which of the following graphs can be expected to represent the number of electrons '$N$' detected as a function of the detector position '$y$' ($y = 0$ corresponds to the middle of the slit)?

The angular deviation of the $5^{th}$ order dark fringe is $12^{\circ}$ in a single slit experiment. If the width of the slit is $9 \mu m$, then the wavelength of the incident light is: (in $Å$)

The width of the central maximum of a diffraction pattern on a single slit does not depend upon:

In a Fraunhofer's diffraction obtained by a single slit aperture,the value of path difference for $n^{th}$ order of minima is
