$A$ Fraunhofer diffraction pattern due to a narrow slit is obtained on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from the slit whose slit width is $a$. The distance of the first secondary maximum from the central maximum is

  • A
    $\frac{3 D \lambda}{a}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 D \lambda}{2 a}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 D \lambda}{3 a}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 D \lambda}{a}$

$A$ student is jogging on a straight path with a speed of $5.4 \,km/h$. Perpendicular to the path is a pipe with its opening $8 \,m$ from the road (see figure). The diameter of the pipe is $0.45 \,m$. At the other end of the pipe is a speaker emitting sound of $1280 \,Hz$ towards the opening of the pipe. As the student passes in front of the pipe,she hears the speaker sound for $T$ seconds. $T$ is in the range (Take speed of sound $= 320 \,m/s$):
