In a Fraunhofer diffraction experiment at a single slit using a light of wavelength 400 ~nm , the first minimum is formed at an angle of 30^ . The direction of the first secondary maximum is given by
Options
- A⁻¹ ( 2 3 )
- B⁻¹ ( 3 4 )
- C⁻¹ ( 1 4 )
- D⁻¹ ( 2 3 )
Correct answer
B. ⁻¹ ( 3 4 )
Step-by-step solution
For first diffraction minimum aligned a &= a &= aligned For first secondary maximum a ^ = 3 2 or ^ = 3 2 1 a = 3 2 = 3 2 30^ = 3 4 or ^ = ⁻¹ ( 3 4 )
