    A beam of light of wavelength 600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit I mm wide and the resulting diffraction-pattern is observed on a screen 2m away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is

    A)  1.2 cm           

    B)  1.2 mm

    C)  2.4cm          

    D)  2.4mm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[\beta =\frac{\lambda D}{d}=\frac{600\times {{10}^{-9}}\times 2}{1\times {{10}^{-3}}}=12\times {{10}^{-4}}\,m\] So, distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe \[X=2\beta \] \[=2\times 12\times {{10}^{-4}}m\] \[=24\times {{10}^{-4}}m\] \[=2.4\,mm\]
