A beam of light having wavelength \(5400 Å\) from a distance source falls on a single slit \(0.96 \mathrm{~mm}\) wide and the resultant diffraction pattern is observed on a screen \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) away. What is the distance between the first dark fringe on either side of central bright fringe?

  1. A 4.8 mm
  2. B 1.2 mm
  3. C 2.4 mm
  4. D 3.6 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.4 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\lambda=5.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{D}=2 \mathrm{~m} \text { and } \mathrm{a}=0.96\) \(\times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}
\)
Distance between the dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe \(=\frac{2 \lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{a}}=2.4 \mathrm{~mm}\)
