For a light of wavelength $5000 \, \mathring{A}$ incident normally on a slit,the first diffraction minimum is formed at an angle of $\theta = 30^\circ$. The width of the slit is:

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
  • D
    $10 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
