Two single-slit experiments use the same 500 nm laser but different slit widths. In Experiment 1 the slit width is a1=0.10 mm and in Experiment 2 it is a2=0.05 mm. All other conditions are identical. Which statement about the angular width of the central diffraction maximum is most accurate?
a) The central maximum in Experiment 2 is half as wide as in Experiment 1.
b) Both experiments produce central maxima of equal width because they use the same wavelength.
c) The central maximum in Experiment 2 is twice as wide as in Experiment 1.
d) The comparison cannot be determined without knowing the screen distance.
