First slide
Diffraction of light-Wave Optics
Question

A slit of width a is illuminated by white light. For red light (λ = 6500 Å), the first minima is obtained at θ=30°. Then the value of a will be   

Moderate
Solution

 For first minima θ=λa or a=λθ a=6500×108×6π As 30=π6 radian  =1.24×104cm=1.24 microns
