Q.

A microwave of wavelength 2.0 cm falls normally on a slit of width 4.0 cm. The angular spread of the central maxima of the diffraction pattern obtained on a screen 1.5 m away from the slit will be              [2024]

1 30°  
2 15°  
3 60°  
4 45°  

Ans.

(3)     

          d sinθ=λ(Half angular speed)

           sinθ=λd=2×10-24×10-2=12θ=30°

           Full angular speed=2θ=60°
