Orange light of wavelength \(6000 \times 10^{-10}\, m\) in illuminates a single slit of width \(0.6 \times 10^{-4}\, m\) The maximum possible number of diffraction minima produced on both sides of the central maximum is\(........\)

  1. A \(198\)
  2. B \(156\)
  3. C \(147\)
  4. D \(187\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(198\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Condition for minimum, \(d \sin \theta= n \lambda\) \(\therefore \sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}<1\) \(n<\frac{d}{\lambda}=\frac{6 \times 10^{-5}}{6 \times 10^{-7}}=100\) \(\therefore\) Total number of minima on one side \(=99\) Total number of minima \(=198\) Correct Answer is…
