$A$ plane wavefront of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring A$ is incident on a slit of width $0.2 \, mm$. $A$ Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is obtained on a screen at a distance of $2 \, m$ from the slit. What is the width of the central maximum in $mm$?

In the Fraunhofer diffraction experiment,$L$ is the distance between the screen and the obstacle,$b$ is the size of the obstacle,and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the incident light. The general condition for the applicability of Fraunhofer diffraction is:

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. Fresnel's diffraction pattern occurs when the source of light or the screen on which the diffraction pattern is seen,or when both are at a finite distance from the aperture.
$B$. Diffracted light can be used to estimate the helical structure of nucleic acids.
