    In a Fraunhofer diffraction experiment at a single slit using light of wavelength 400 nm, the first minimum formed at an angle of 30°. What will be the direction 6 of the first secondary maximum?

    A)  \[{{\sin }^{-\,1}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)\]                     

    B)  \[{{\sin }^{-\,1}}\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)\]

    C)  \[{{\sin }^{-\,1}}\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)\]                     

    D)  \[{{\sin }^{-\,1}}\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For first diffraction minimum, \[\operatorname{a} sin \theta  = \lambda \] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,a=\frac{\lambda }{\sin \,\,\theta }\,\] For first secondary maximum \[a\,\sin \,\theta '=\frac{3\lambda }{2}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\sin \,\theta '=\frac{3\lambda }{2}\times \frac{1}{a}\] \[\sin \,\theta '=\frac{3\lambda }{2}\,\times \,\frac{\sin \,\theta }{\lambda }\,\,=\,\,\frac{3\lambda }{z}\times \,\,\frac{\sin \,30{}^\circ }{\lambda }\] \[\theta '={{\sin }^{-\,1}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)\]
