Visible light of wavelength 600 nm falls normally on a single slit and diffraction pattern is obtained on a screen. It is found that the second diffraction minima is at \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). If the first minimum is obtained at \( \theta_1 \), then \( \theta_1 \) is:
Given: \( \sin 25^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \)

  1. A \( \frac{\pi}{3} \)
  2. B \( \frac{\pi}{4} \)
  3. C \( \frac{5\pi}{36} \)
  4. D \( \frac{\pi}{9} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \frac{5\pi}{36} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a \sin \theta = n \lambda\) \(a \sin (\frac{\pi}{3}) = 2 \lambda\) \(a \sin \theta_1 = \lambda\) \(\frac{\sin \theta_1}{\sin (\frac{\pi}{3})} = \frac{1}{2}\) \(\sin \theta_1 = \frac{1}{2} \sin (\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)…
