Diffraction

Question

Light of wavelength 5000A0  is incident on a slit.  The first minimum of the diffraction pattern is observed to lie at a distance of 5 mm from the central maximum on a screen placed at a distance of 3 m from the slit.  Then the width of the slit is

Easy
Solution

Minimum condition for diffraction is

d\frac{Y}{D} = n\lambda ,\,d\frac{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{3} = 1 \times 5000 \times {10^{ - 10}}\

d = 3 \times {10^{ - 4}}m = 0.03cm\
