Light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a single slit of width $a$,and the distance between the slit and the screen is $D$. In the diffraction pattern,if the slit width is equal to the width of the central maximum,then $D=$

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