A light having wavelength \(6400^{\circ} \mathrm{A}\) is incident normally on a slit of width \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\). Then the linear width of the central maximum on the screen kept \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) from the slit is :
- A 2.4 mm
- B 2.4 cm
- C 1.28 cm
- D 1.28 mm
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 1.28 mm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is given by the formula \(w = \dfrac{2 \lambda D}{a}\), where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of light, \(D\) is the distance of the screen from the slit, and \(a\) is the width of the slit. Given values are:…
