BITSAT Physics Question (2023) — Solution

Question

A single slit of a width a is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength 600 ~nm . The value of ' a ' for which first minimum appears at =30^ on the screen will be :

Options

  1. A. 0.6 m
  2. B. 1.2 m
  3. C. 1.8 m
  4. D. 3 m

Answer

B. 1.2 m

Step-by-step solution

Wavelength of monochromatic light, =600 10^ -9 ~m As fir first minima a = aligned & a 30^ =600 10^ -9 \\ & a =1200 10^ -9 ~m =1.2 m aligned
