\begin{aligned} & \frac{\beta}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2} \\ & \beta=\mathrm{a} \\ & \frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{a} \\ & \lambda \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{a}^2 \\ & \mathrm{a}^2=800 \times 10^{-9} \times 5 \times 10^{-2} \\ & \mathrm{a}^2=4000 \times 10^{-11} \\ & \mathrm{a}=2 \times 10^{-4} \\ & \mathrm{a}=0.2 \mathrm{~mm} \end{aligned}
