$A$ screen is placed at $50 \ cm$ from a single slit,which is illuminated with light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. If the separation between the $1^{st}$ and $3^{rd}$ minima in the diffraction pattern is $3 \ mm$,then the slit width is: (in $mm$)

$A$ plane wave front of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a single slit of width $b$. What is the angular width of the secondary maximum?

In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit,the angular width of the central maxima becomes half when the wavelength of the light used is changed from $\lambda$ to $7000 Å$. Then the value of $\lambda$ is (in $Å$)

Diffraction effects are easier to notice in the case of sound waves than in the case of light waves because

$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident on a narrow rectangular slit of width $1\,mm$. When the diffraction pattern is seen on a screen placed at a distance of $2\,m$, the width of the principal maxima is found to be $2.5\,mm$. The wavelength of light is $.............\mathring{A}$.
