Orange light of wavelength $6000 \times 10^{-10} \ m$ illuminates a single slit of width $0.6 \times 10^{-4} \ m$. The maximum possible number of diffraction minima produced on both sides of the central maximum is $........$

Monochromatic light of wavelength $580 \,nm$ is incident on a slit of width $0.30 \,mm$. The screen is $2 \,m$ from the slit. The width of the central maximum is ........... $\times 10^{-3} \,m$.

$A$ slit of size $0.15 \ cm$ is placed at $2.1 \ m$ from a screen. On illuminating it by a light of wavelength $5 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$,the width of the central maxima will be:

Which scientist discovered the phenomenon of diffraction of light?

$A$ parallel beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident normally on a narrow slit. $A$ diffraction pattern is formed on a screen placed perpendicular to the direction of the incident beam. At the second minimum of the diffraction pattern,the phase difference between the rays coming from the two edges of the slit is:

The condition for observing Fraunhofer diffraction from a single slit is that the light wavefront incident on the slit should be
