A slit is illuminated by light of wavelength \( 6500 \text{ \AA} \).
The first minimum is observed at \( \theta = 30^\circ \). The width of the slit is:

  1. A 13 \( \mu\text{m} \)
  2. B 3.25 \( \mu\text{m} \)
  3. C 1.3 \( \mu\text{m} \)
  4. D 1.7 \( \mu\text{m} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.3 \( \mu\text{m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( a \sin \theta = \lambda \) \( a = \frac{6500 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}}{\sin 30^\circ} \) \( a = \frac{6500 \times 10^{-10}}{0.5} = 13000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} \) \( a = 1.3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m} = 1.3\)\(\mu m\)
