Light of wavelength 600 nm is incident normally on a slit of width 0.03 cm. The width of the central maximum on the screen placed 1 m away from the slit is

  1. A 1 mm
  2. B 2 mm
  3. C 4 mm
  4. D 6 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W = \frac{2 \lambda D}{a}\) \(W = \frac{2 \times 600 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m} \times 1 \text{ m}}{0.03 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}}\) \(W = \frac{1200 \times 10^{-9}}{3 \times 10^{-4}}\) m \(W = 400 \times 10^{-5}\) m \(W = 4 \times 10^{-3}\) m \(W = 4\) mm
