(b) A plane wavefront of light of wavelength '$\lambda$' is incident normally on a narrow slit of width 'a' and a diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at a distance 'D' from the slit.
(i) Depict the intensity distribution in the pattern observed.
(ii) Obtain the expression for the first maximum from the central maximum.
