Consider a single slit being illuminated by light with wavelength λ. Part (a)  What is the minimum width, w1min, expressed as a multiple of λ, for which the slit produces the first minimum?  Part (b)  What is its minimum width of the slit, w50,min, if it produces 50 minima? Again, express this in multiples of λ.  Part (c)  What if it produces 1000 minima?
