Monochromatic light is normally incident on a diffraction grating. The mth order line is at a angle of diffraction θ and has width w. A wide single slit is now placed in front of the grating and its width is then slowly reduced. As a

the ans. is: θ remains the same and w increases

Can someone help me solve this?
