In a diffraction experiment from a single slit,the angular width of the central maximum does $NOT$ depend upon:

$A$ plane wavefront of monochromatic light is incident normally on a narrow slit. $A$ diffraction pattern is formed on a screen. What is the phase difference between the waves originating from the top and bottom edges of the slit at the position of the first minimum?

In a single slit diffraction pattern, the distance between the first minimum on the left and the first minimum on the right is $5 \,mm$. The screen on which the diffraction pattern is obtained is at a distance of $80 \,cm$ from the slit. The wavelength used is $6000 \mathring{A}$. The width of the slit is (in $\,mm$)

In a single-slit diffraction experiment,if the width of the slit is reduced,what happens to the linear width of the principal (central) maxima?
