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 ........... \(\mu m\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As for first minima

\(a \sin \theta=\lambda\)

\(\Rightarrow a \sin 30^{\circ}=600 \times 10^{-9}\)

\(\Rightarrow a =1200 \times 10^{-9}\,m\)

\(\Rightarrow a =1.2\,\mu m\)
