A beam of light of wavelength 600 n m from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 m m wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of central bright fringe is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of central bright fringe is ⇒ 2 y = 2 D λ a ⇒ 2 y = 2 × 2 × 6 × 1 0 - 7 1 × 1 0 - 3 ⇒ 2 y = 24 × 1 0 - 4 m ⇒ 2 y = 2.4 m m
