Light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring A$ is incident on a slit of width $0.30 \, mm$. $A$ screen is placed at a distance of $2 \, m$ from the slit. Find the position of the first minimum.

Red light is generally used to observe the diffraction pattern from a single slit. If blue light is used instead of red light,then the diffraction pattern:

$A$ parallel monochromatic beam of light is incident normally on a narrow slit. $A$ diffraction pattern is formed on a screen placed perpendicular to the direction of the incident beam. At the first secondary maximum of the diffraction pattern,the phase difference between the rays coming from the edges of the slit is

Why is the diffraction of sound waves more evident in daily experience than that of light waves?

In a single slit diffraction experiment, for wavelength $\lambda$, the half angular width of the central maximum is $\theta$. For a wavelength $p\lambda$, the half angular width of the central maximum is $q\theta$. What is the ratio of the half angular widths of the first secondary maximum in the first case to the second case?

$A$ single slit diffraction pattern is formed with white light. For what wavelength of light, the $3^{\text{rd}}$ secondary maximum in the diffraction pattern coincides with the $2^{\text{nd}}$ secondary maximum in the pattern of red light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$ (in $\text{ Å}$)?
