NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

Angular width of the central maxima the Fraunhofer diffraction for \(\lambda=6000 \;\mathring A\) is \(\theta_{0} .\) When the same slit Is lluminated by another monochromatic light, the angular wildth decreases by \(30 \% .\) The wavelength of this light is.......\(\mathring A\)

  1. A \(1800\)
  2. B \(4200\)
  3. C \(6000\)
  4. D \(420\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4200\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular width \(\propto \frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d}} \) \(\Rightarrow \frac{\theta_{0}}{0.7 \theta_{0}}=\frac{\frac{6000 {\mathring A}}{\mathrm{d}}}{\frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d}}} \)\(\Rightarrow \lambda=4200 \mathring A\)
