A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength `5000Å` is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width `0.001mm`. The light is focused by a convex lens on a screen placed on the focal plane. The first minimum will be formed for the angle of diffraction equal to
A. (a) `0^@`
B. (b) `15^@`
C. (c) `30^@`
D. (d) `60^@`
A. (a) `0^@`
B. (b) `15^@`
C. (c) `30^@`
D. (d) `60^@`
Correct Answer – C
For the first minima `dsin theta=lambda`
`impliessin theta=lambda/dimpliestheta=sin^-1((5000xx10^(-10))/(0.001xx10^-3))=30^@`
