Light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a single slit of width $a$,and the distance between the slit and the screen is $D$. In the diffraction pattern,if the slit width is equal to the width of the central maximum,then $D=$

  • A
    $\frac{a^2}{\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{\lambda}$
  • C
    $\frac{a^2}{2 \lambda}$
  • D
    $\frac{a}{2 \lambda}$

Assertion : When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from some distance,a bright spot is seen at the centre of the shadow of the obstacle.
Reason : Destructive interference occurs at the centre of the shadow.

$A$ Fraunhofer diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width $0.3 \text{ mm}$ is obtained on a screen placed at a distance of $3 \text{ m}$ from the slit.
