Light of wavelength 5000 Å is incident normally on a slit. The first minimum of the diffraction pattern is observed to lie at distance of 5 ~mm from the central maximum on a screen placed at a distance of 2 ~m from the slit. The width of the slit.is
Options
- A2 ~cm
- B0.2 ~cm
- C0.02 ~cm
- D0.01 ~cm
Correct answer
C. 0.02 ~cm
Step-by-step solution
The slit width is given as: W = D d d = 2 5000 10⁻¹⁰ 5 10⁻³ =0.02 ~cm
