    In a single slit diffraction experiment, slit of width ' aa ' is illuminated by light of wavelength ' λ\lambda ' and the width of the central maxima in diffraction pattern is measured as ' yy '. When half of the slit is covered and illuminated by light of wavelength (1.5) λ\lambda, the width of the central maximum in diffraction pattern becomes
