A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \(600 \mathrm{~nm}\) passes through single slit of \(0.4 \mathrm{~mm}\) width. Angular divergence corresponding to second order minima would be _______ \(\times 10^{-3} \mathrm{rad}\).

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sin \theta=\theta=\frac{2 \lambda}{b}\)

\(=\frac{2 \times 600 \times 10^{-9}}{4 \times 10^{-4}}=3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{rad}\)

\(\text { Total divergence }=(3+3) \times 10^{-3}=6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{rad}\)
