Light of wavelength600 nmis incident normally on a slit of width0.2 mm. The angular width of central maxima in the diffraction pattern is (measured from minimum to minimum)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

λ=600 nm=600×10-9m

d=0.2 mm=0.2×10-3m



∵  Linear width of central maximum,

x=2θD

Where,2θ:Angular width of central maximum.

We know that,x=2λDd

Angular width2θ.D=2λDd

⇒ 2θ=2λd=2×600×10-90.2×10-3

=6×10-7×104

=6×10-3 rad
