In a single slit diffraction pattern, the distance between the first minimum on the left and the first minimum on the right is \(5 \mathrm{~mm}\). The screen on which the diffraction pattern is obtained is at a distance of \(80 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the slit. The wavelength used is \(6000 Å\). The width of the silt is

  1. A \(0.096 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  2. B \(0.576 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  3. C \(0.192 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  4. D \(0.384 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.192 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text {Distance between the first minima on}\) \(\text{both side }=\frac{2 \lambda D}{a} \)
\( =5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \frac{2 \times 6 \times 10^{-7} \times 0.8}{\mathrm{a}}=5 \times 10^{-3} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{a}=\frac{2 \times 6 \times 10^{-7} \times 0.8}{5 \times 10^{-3}}=0.192 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \)
\( =0.192 \mathrm{~mm}\)
