Using monochromatic light for diffraction in a single slit of width 0.1 mm, with a central maximum of 5 mm width on a screen 50 cm away, the wavelength of light used is :

  1. A 2.5 \(\times 10^{-7}\) m
  2. B 4 \(\times 10^{-7}\) m
  3. C 5 \(\times 10^{-7}\) m
  4. D 7.5 \(\times 10^{-7}\) m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5 \(\times 10^{-7}\) m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{Wa}{2D}\) \(\lambda = \frac{(5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m})(0.1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m})}{2(0.5 \text{ m})}\) \(\lambda = 5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\)
