A single slit of width b is illuminated by a coherent monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda $. If the second and fourthminima in the difraction pattern at a distance 1 m from the slit are at 3 cm and 6 cm respectively from the central maximum, what is the width of the central maximum ? (i.e. distance between first minimum on either side of the central maximum)
1.5 cm
3.0 cm
4.5 cm
6.0 cm
