$A$ single slit diffraction experiment is performed to determine the slit width using the equation,$\frac{b d}{D} = m \lambda$,where $b$ is the slit width,$D$ is the distance between the slit and the screen,$d$ is the distance between the $m^{\text{th}}$ diffraction maximum and the central maximum,and $\lambda$ is the wavelength. $D$ and $d$ are measured with scales of least count of $1 \ cm$ and $1 \ mm$,respectively. The values of $\lambda$ and $m$ are known precisely to be $600 \ nm$ and $3$,respectively. The absolute error (in $\mu m$) in the value of $b$ estimated using the diffraction maximum that occurs for $m=3$ with $d=5 \ mm$ and $D=1 \ m$ is $.....$

Monochromatic light of wavelength $580 \,nm$ is incident on a slit of width $0.30 \,mm$. The screen is $2 \,m$ from the slit. The width of the central maximum is ........... $\times 10^{-3} \,m$.

Two wavelengths of sodium light $590 \,nm$ and $596 \,nm$ are used one after another to study diffraction due to a single slit of aperture $2 \times 10^{-6} \,m$. The distance between the slit and the screen is $1.5 \,m$. The separation between the positions of the first maximum of the diffraction pattern obtained in the two cases is: (in $\,mm$)

$A$ slit of width $a$ is illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength $650 \ nm$. The value of $a$ when the first maximum is formed at a diffraction angle of $30^\circ$ is:
