A parallel beam of light of wave length 500 nm in incident normally on a single slit of width \( 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \). The light is focused by a convex lens on a screen placed in focal plane.

  1. A \(0^\circ \)
  2. B \( 30^\circ \)
  3. C \( 45^\circ \)
  4. D \( 60^\circ \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 30^\circ \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a \sin \theta = m \lambda\) \(10^{-6} \, \text{m} \cdot \sin \theta = 1 \cdot 500 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}\) \(\sin \theta = \frac{500 \times 10^{-9}}{10^{-6}} = 0.5\) \(\theta = \arcsin(0.5) = 30^\circ\)
