First slide
Diffraction of light-Wave Optics
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 

Moderate
Solution

Position of first minima = position of third maxima i.e., 

1×λ1Dd=(2×3+1)2λ2Dd λ1=3.5λ2
