    When the diffraction pattern from a certain slit illuminated with laser light\[(\lambda =6330\,{{A}^{o}})\] is projected on a screen 150 cm from the slit, the second minima on each side are separated by 8 cm. This tells us that:               

    A) the slit is approximately 0.005 cm wide

    B) the slit is approximately 0.05 cm wide

    C) \[a/\lambda \], is approximately 7.5 (a is the slit width)

    D) \[a/\lambda \]is approximately 750

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\sin {{\theta }_{2}}=\frac{2\lambda }{d}\] or \[{{\theta }_{2}}={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2\lambda }{d} \right)\] Given \[y=D(2\,{{\theta }_{2}})=8\times {{10}^{-2}}\] or \[1.5\times 2\times {{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2\lambda }{d} \right)=8\times {{10}^{-2}}\] \[\Rightarrow d\simeq 0.005cm\]
