Physics Question on single slit diffraction
Angular width of the central maxima in the Fraunhofer diffraction for λ = 6000 � is θ0. When the same slit is illuminated by another monochromatic light, the angular width decreases by 30%. The wavelength of this light is,
A
1800 �
B
4200 �
C
6000 �
D
420 �
Answer
4200 �
Explanation
Solution
Angular width ∝dλ
⇒0.7θ0θ0=dλd6000�
⇒λ=4200�
