    A single slit of width 0.1 mm is illuminated by a parallel beam of light of wavelength \[6000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] and diffraction bands are observed on a screen 0.5 m from the slit. The distance of the third dark band from the central bright band is - [JEE Online 09-04-2017]

    A)  9 mm                   

    B)  3 mm

    C)  4.5 mm                               

    D)  1.5 mm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[a=0.1\,mm={{10}^{-4}}\]                 \[\lambda =600k\,\times \,{{10}^{-10}}\,=6\times {{10}^{-7}}\] for 3rd dark          \[D=0.5\,m\] \[\sin \theta =\frac{3\lambda }{a}\,=\frac{x}{D}\]                 \[x=\frac{3\lambda D}{a}\] \[=\frac{3\times 6\times {{10}^{-7}}\,\times 0.5}{{{10}^{-4}}}\] \[=\,9\,mm\]                                     \[a\sin \theta \,=3\lambda \]
