Angular width of the central maxima in the Fraunhofer diffraction for $\lambda=6000$ Å is $\theta_0$. When the same slit is illuminated by another monochromatic light, the angular width decreases by 30%. The wavelength of this light is,
Detailed Solution
Angular width $\propto\lambda$ for the same slit. A 30% decrease gives $\lambda'=0.70\times6000=4200$ Å.
