Orange light of wavelength 6000 × 10 – 10 m illuminates a single slit of width 0 . 6 × 10 – 4 m . The maximum possible number of diffraction minima produced on both sides of the central maximum is __________

Step-by-step solution

Light of wavelength 6000   ×   10 – 10   m passes through a single slit of width 0 . 6   ×   10 – 4   m . Find height of highest order of minima on both side central maxima for minima dsin θ = nλ sinθ = nλ d < 1 n ≤ d λ n < 0 . 6 × 10 - 4 6000 × 10 - 10 n < 100 The total number of maxima of both side at central maxima = 100 + 100 = 200
