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
    $5.5$
  • B
    $5.75$
  • C
    $6.25$
  • D
    $6.75$
