A narrow slit of width 0.3 mm is illuminated normally by a parallel beam of light of wavelength 6×10-7 m. The Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is obtained on a screen placed in the focal plane of a convex lens of focal length 25 cm. The lens is placed quite close to the slit. Find the width of central maximum on the screen.
