If the width of the slit is increased by a factor of two , then the central maxima will get decreased by half.
since , width of the central maxima is inversely proportional to the width of the slit . Which implies if width of the slit get increased then width of the central maxima will get decreased and vice versa.
central maxima = (2 * wavelength * D) / width of the slit
= (2 * lambda * D) / d
if initially width of the slit = d
then, after increasing it by a factor of two it become = 2d
central maxima = (2 * lambda * D) / 2d
= (lambda * D) / d
If the width of the slit is increased by a factor of two , then the central maxima will get decreased by half.
