Question 377: Wave Optics

Question

Light of wavelength '$$\lambda$$' is incident on a single slit of width 'a' and the distance between slit and screen is 'D'. In diffraction pattern, if slit width is equal to the width of the central maximum then $$\mathrm{D}=$$

Accepted Answer

Width of central maximum $$=\frac{2\lambda D}{a}$$
$$	herefore a=\frac{2\lambda D}{a}$$
$$	herefore D=\frac{a^2}{2\lambda}$$

Answer

$$\frac{a^2}{\lambda}$$

Answer

$$\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\lambda}$$

Answer

$$\frac{a^2}{2 \lambda}$$

Answer

$$\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \lambda}$$
