Vedclass · Answer

(B) The distance between the two first-order minima on either side of the central maximum is equal to the width of the central maximum.The formula for the width of the central maximum in a single-slit diffraction pattern is given by $w = \frac{2 \lambda D}{a}$.Given values are:Slit width $a = 2 \,mm = 2 	imes 10^{-3} \,m$Distance to screen $D = 2 \,m$Wavelength $\lambda = 6330 \mathring{A} = 6330 	imes 10^{-10} \,m$Substituting these values into the formula:$w = \frac{2 	imes 6330 	imes 10^{-10} 	imes 2}{2 	imes 10^{-3}}$$w = 2 	imes 6330 	imes 10^{-7} \,m$$w = 12660 	imes 10^{-7} \,m = 1.266 	imes 10^{-3} \,m$$w \approx 1.27 \,mm$.

$A$ diffraction pattern is obtained by making blue light incident on a narrow slit. If blue light is replaced by red light,then:

Light of wavelength $600 \,nm$ is incident normally on a slit of width $0.2 \,mm$. The angular width of the central maxima in the diffraction pattern is (measured from minimum to minimum):

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.

Light of wavelength $550\, nm$ falls normally on a slit of width $22.0 \times 10^{-5}\, cm$. The angular position of the second minima from the central maximum will be (in radians)
