  1. A \(2000 Å\)
  2. B \(4000 Å\)
  3. C \(5000 Å\)
  4. D \(10000 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5000 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{a y_1}{D}\) \(\lambda = \frac{(0.2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m})(0.005 \, \text{m})}{2 \, \text{m}}\)
