The diffraction pattern of a light of wavelength \(400\) \(\mathrm{nm}\) diffracting from a slit of width \(0.2 \mathrm{~mm}\) is focused on the focal plane of a convex lens of focal length \(100 \mathrm{~cm}\). The width of the \(1^{\text {st }}\) secondary maxima will be _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Width of \(1^{\text {st }}\) secondary maxima \(=\frac{\lambda}{a} \cdot D\)

Here

\( a=0.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \)

\( \lambda=400 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m} \)

\( D=100 \times 10^{-2}\)

Width of \(1^{\text {st }}\) secondary maxima

\( =\frac{400 \times 10^{-9}}{0.2 \times 10^{-3}} \times 100 \times 10^{-2} \)

\( =2 \mathrm{~mm}\)
