For a light of wavelength $5000 \, \mathring{A}$ incident normally on a slit,the first diffraction minimum is formed at an angle of $\theta = 30^\circ$. The width of the slit is:

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$
  • D
    $10 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm}$

Which of the following waves exhibits clear diffraction?

In a diffraction pattern, light of wavelength $580 \,nm$ is incident normally on a slit of width '$a$'. The distance between the slit and the screen is $2.5 \,m$ and the distance of the second-order maximum from the center of the screen is $14.5 \,mm$. The value of '$a$' is:

In Fraunhofer diffraction due to a single slit,the direction of the second secondary maximum is given by ....... ($a$ is the width of the slit).

$A$ light wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$. If the linear width of the principal maxima is equal to the width of the slit,then the distance $D$ is:

Light of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ is incident on a slit. The width of the slit is $0.30 \ mm$. A screen is placed at a distance of $2 \ m$ from the slit. Find the width of the central maximum in $mm$.
