In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is reduced to half its original width. How would this affect the size and intensity of the central maxima?

Reducing the slit width to half doubles the angular width of the central maxima, making it wider. However, the intensity of the central maxima decreases significantly because the light passing through the slit is reduced, causing less energy to be distributed across the pattern.
