34. Wave Optics / Single Slit Diffraction / Problem 4

A monochromatic beam of light with a wavelength of λ is incident on a single slit. The width of the slit is 150λ. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen placed 3.25 m away from the slit. Calculate the width of the central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern.
