Q.

A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength 5000 is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width 0.001 mm. The light is focused by a convex lens on the screen, placed on its focal plane. The first minima will be formed for the angle of diffraction of ____ (degree).             [2024]


Ans.

(30)         For first minima

               asinθ=λ

               sinθ=λa=5000×10-101×10-6=12

                θ=30°
