Diffraction
Question

A parallel beam of wavelength λ=450×109m passes through a long slit of width 2×104m. The angular divergence for which most of light is diffracted is

Moderate
Solution

Most of the light is diffracted between the two first order minima.

   Required angle =2θ

=2sinθ=2λd=2×450×1092×104

=450×105 radian =4.5×103 radian
