Two parallel beams of monochromatic light pass through a long slit of width 0.2 mm one by one. The angular divergence in which most of the light is diffracted for both the beams are \( 2.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad} \) and \( 4.50 \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad} \) respectively. If the wavelength of the first beam is \( \lambda_1 = 3000 \text{ Å} \), then the wavelength of the second beam is:

  1. A \( 3000 \text{ Å} \)
  2. B \( 4500 \text{ Å} \)
  3. C \( 6000 \text{ Å} \)
  4. D \( 7500 \text{ Å} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 6000 \text{ Å} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \theta = \frac{\lambda}{a} \) \( \lambda_2 = \lambda_1 \frac{\theta_2}{\theta_1} \) \( \lambda_2 = 3000 \text{ Å} \times \frac{4.50 \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad}}{2.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad}} \) \( \lambda_2 = 3000 \text{ Å} \times 2 \) \( \lambda_2 = 6000 \text{ Å} \)
