In 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 $mm$)

    $1.1$
  • B
    $2.2$
  • C
    $4.4$
  • D

$A$ light beam of wavelength $800 \,nm$ passes through a single slit and is projected on a screen kept at $5 \,m$ away from the slit. What should be the slit width for the ray optics approximation to be valid (in $\,mm$)?

Fresnel diffraction is produced due to light rays falling on a small obstacle. The intensity of light at a point on a screen beyond an obstacle depends on

In a Fresnel diffraction arrangement,the screen is at a distance of $2 \ m$ from a circular aperture. It is found that for light of wavelengths ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2},$ the radius of the $4^{th}$ zone for ${\lambda _1}$ coincides with the radius of the $5^{th}$ zone for ${\lambda _2}.$ Then the ratio ${\lambda _1}:{\lambda _2}$ is
