MediumIn a Fraunhofer diffraction,light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance $D$. If the linear width of the central maximum is equal to two times the width of the slit,then the value of $D$ is:
- A$\frac{d^2}{\lambda}$
- B$\frac{d^2}{2 \lambda}$
- C$\frac{d^2}{3 \lambda}$
- D$\frac{d^2}{4 \lambda}$

View SolutionIn a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern,the slit width is $0.5 \ mm$ and the screen is at $2 \ m$ away from the lens. If the wavelength of the light used is $5500 \ Å$,then the distance between the first minima on either side of the central maximum is (assume $\theta$ is small and measured in radians). (in $mm$)
