In Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, slitwidth is 0.5 mm and screen is at 2 m away from the lens. If wavelength of light used is 5500 Å , then the distance between the first minimum on either side of the central maximum is ( is small and measured in radian)
Options
- A1.1 mm
- B2.2 ~mm
- C4.4 mm
- D5.5 mm
Correct answer
C. 4.4 mm
Step-by-step solution
Distance of 1^ st minima from central maxima y_ 1 d = D a Distance between two minima on either side of the central maxima is 2 y _ 1 ~d = 2 D a = 2 5500 10⁻¹⁰ 2 0.5 10⁻³ =4.4 ~mm
