In single slit diffraction pattern, the wavelength of light used is \(628\) nm and slit width is \(0.2\) mm, the angular width of central maximum is \(\alpha \times 10^{-2}\) degrees. The value of \(\alpha\) is _______.

  1. A 32
  2. B 36
  3. C 38
  4. D 40
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 36

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is given by \(\Delta \theta = \dfrac{2\lambda}{a}\) Substituting the given values: \(\lambda = 628 \times 10^{-9}\) m \(a = 0.2 \times 10^{-3}\) m…
