What will be the angle of diffraction for the first minimum due to Fraunhofer diffraction with a source of light of wavelength $550 \,nm$ and a slit of width $0.55 \,mm$ (in $,rad$)?

The angular width of the central maxima in Fraunhofer diffraction for $\lambda = 6000 \; \mathring{A}$ is $\theta_{0}$. When the same slit is illuminated by another monochromatic light,the angular width decreases by $30 \%$. The wavelength of this light is ....... $\mathring{A}$.

In Fraunhofer diffraction,draw the graph of the intensity of light on the screen versus the diffraction angle $\theta$ and write its characteristics.

What do the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum indicate?

In Fraunhofer diffraction pattern,slit width is $0.3 \ mm$ and screen is at $1.5 \ m$ away from the lens. If wavelength of light used is $4500 \ Å$,then the distance between the first minimum on either side of the central maximum is [ $\theta$ is small and measured in radian.] (in $mm$)
