Wave Optics · Diffraction and polarisation

A slit of width aa is illuminated by light of wavelength λ\lambda. The linear separation between 1st1^{\text{st}} and 3rd3^{\text{rd}} minima in the diffraction pattern produced on a screen placed at a distance DD from the slit system is .
  1. (1)Dλa\dfrac{D\lambda}{a}
  2. (2)1.5Dλa1.5\dfrac{D\lambda}{a}
  3. (3)2Dλa2\dfrac{D\lambda}{a}
  4. (4)3Dλa3\dfrac{D\lambda}{a}
