Q.

The diffraction pattern of a light of wavelength 400 nm diffracting from a slit of width 0.2 mm is focused on the focal plane of a convex lens of focal length 100 cm. The width of the 1st secondary maxima will be                        [2024]

1 2 mm  
2 2 cm  
3 0.02 mm  
4 0.2 mm

width of secondary maxima=λfa

=400×10-9×10.2×10-3=2×10-710-4=2×10-3 m=2 mm
