In the single slit experiment of diffraction, the aperture of the slit is 2 mm. If a monochromatic light of wavelength 600 nm is incident normally on the slit, the distance between \( 2^{\text{nd}} \) order minima and the \( 4^{\text{th}} \) order maxima on the screen placed 2 m away from the slit will be:

  1. A 0.775 mm
  2. B 1 mm
  3. C 3 mm
  4. D 1.5 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1.5 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y_{\text{min, 2}} = \frac{2 \lambda D}{a}\) \(y_{\text{min, 2}} = \frac{2 \cdot (600 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}) \cdot (2 \, \text{m})}{2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} = 1.2 \, \text{mm}\)…
