JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

A single slit of width \(a\) is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength \(600\,nm\). The value of \(a\) for which first minimum appears at \(\theta=30^{\circ}\) on the screen will be ........... \(\mu m\)

  1. A \(0.6\)
  2. B \(1.2\)
  3. C \(1.8\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As for first minima \(a \sin \theta=\lambda\) \(\Rightarrow a \sin 30^{\circ}=600 \times 10^{-9}\) \(\Rightarrow a =1200 \times 10^{-9}\,m\) \(\Rightarrow a =1.2\,\mu m\)
