Monochromatic lights of wavelengths 620 nm and 626 nm, respectively are used to study diffraction at a single slit of aperture 0.7 mm. The distance between the slit and the screen is 1.8 m. The separation between the positions of the first maxima of the diffraction pattern obtained in the two cases is

  1. A 0.023 mm
  2. B 0.23 mm
  3. C 2.31 mm
  4. D 23.13 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.023 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Delta y = \frac{3D(\lambda_2 - \lambda_1)}{2a} \) \( \Delta y = \frac{3 \times 1.8 \text{ m} \times (626 - 620) \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}}{2 \times 0.7 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}} \) \( \Delta y = \frac{3 \times 1.8 \times 6 \times 10^{-9}}{1.4 \times 10^{-3}} \text{ m} \)…
