A beam of light having wavelength 5400 Å from a distance source falls on a single slit 0.96 ~mm wide and the resultant diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 ~m away. What is the distance between the first dark fringe on either side of central bright fringe?
Options
- A4.8 mm
- B1.2 mm
- C2.4 mm
- D3.6 mm
Correct answer
C. 2.4 mm
Step-by-step solution
=5.4 10⁻⁷ ~m , D =2 ~m and a =0.96 10⁻³ ~m Distance between the dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe = 2 D a =2.4 ~mm
