Question

A slit of width a is illuminated by white light. The first minimum for red light λ = 6500 Å will fall at θ = 30 o , when a is, 3250 Å, 6.5 × 1 0 - 4 c m, 1.3 μ m, 2.6 × 1 0 - 4 c m

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

sin ⁡ θ = λ a ⇒ sin ⁡ 30 o = 6500 a Å ∴ 1 2 = 6500 a Å ⇒ a = 2 × 6500 Å ⇒ a = 2 × 6500 × 1 0 - 10 m ∴ ⇒ a = 1.3 × 1 0 - 6 m
