  1. A increases.
  2. B decreases.
  3. C remains same.
  4. D first increases and then decreases.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) remains same.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Linear width of central maximum \(=\frac{2 \lambda D }{ d }\)
\(\therefore\) Angular width of central maximum \(=\frac{2 \lambda}{d}\)
