Angular width of central maximum of a diffraction pattern due to a single slit does not depend upon

Angular width of central maximum of a diffraction pattern due to a single slit does not depend upon
  1. Distance between slit and source
  2. Wavelength of light used
  3. Width of the slit
  4. Frequency of light used

Solution

Angular width of central maxima is given by, $\mathrm{Q}=2 \lambda \mathrm{a}$ Where, $\lambda=$ Wavelength $\mathrm{a}=$ Width of slit, It does not depend on distance between slit and source.
