Diffraction
Question

In the far field diffraction pattern of a single slit under polychromatic illumination, the first minimum with the wavelength λ1 is found to be coincident with the third maximum at λ2. So

Easy
Solution

Position of first minima - position of third maxima,

 i.e., 1×λ1Dd=(2×3+1)2λ2Dd=λ1=3.5λ2
