$A$ beam of light of $\lambda = 600 \, nm$ from a distant source falls on a single slit $1 \, mm$ wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen $2 \, m$ away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is:

  • A
    $1.2 \, cm$
  • B
    $1.2 \, mm$
  • C
    $2.4 \, cm$
  • D
    $2.4 \, mm$
