In a single slit diffraction pattern, a light of wavelength 6000 A is used. The distance between the first and third minima in the diffraction pattern is found to be 3 mm when the screen is placed 50 cm away from slits. The width of the slit is 10-4 m.
Answer
2
Solution
[figure]
n-th minimum: a =n yn= n Da
y3-y1= 2 Da
a= 2 Dy3-y1= 2 6 10-7 0.53 10-3
=2 10-4 m
Answer: 2
