A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \(5000 \mathring A\) is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width \(0.001 \mathrm{~mm}\). The light is focused by convex lens on screen, placed on its focal plane. The first minima will be formed for the angle of diffraction of______________(degree).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For first minima

\(\text { a } \sin \theta=\lambda\)

\( \Rightarrow \sin \theta=\frac{\lambda}{a}=\frac{5000 \times 10^{-10}}{1 \times 10^{-6}}=\frac{1}{2} \)

\( \Rightarrow \theta=30^{\circ}\)
