    In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width \['a',\] the first minimum is observed at an angle \[{{30}^{o}}\] when light of wavelength \[5000\text{ }\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] is incident on the slit. The first secondary maximum is observed at an angle of :                                                                                                [NEET - 2016]

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

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

    C)  \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\]           

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] For first minima, \[\sin {{30}^{o}}=\frac{\lambda }{a}=\frac{1}{2}\]
    First secondary maxima will be at
    \[\sin \theta =\frac{3\lambda }{2a}=\frac{3}{2}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\Rightarrow \theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)\]
