$A$ single slit of width $b$ is illuminated by a coherent monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$. If the second and fourth minima in the diffraction pattern at a distance $1\,m$ from the slit are at $3\,cm$ and $6\,cm$ respectively from the central maximum,what is the width of the central maximum in $cm$ (i.e.,distance between the first minimum on either side of the central maximum)?

Through a narrow slit of width $2 \,mm$, a diffraction pattern is formed on a screen kept at a distance $2 \,m$ from the slit. The wavelength of the light used is $6330 \mathring{A}$ and it falls normal to the slit and screen. Then, the distance between the two minima on either side of the central maximum is (in $\,mm$)
