Light of wavelength 550 nm falls normally on a slit of width 22.0×10−5 cm. The angular position of the second minima from the central maximum will (in radians) :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A π12
  • B π8
  • C π6
  • D π4

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Angular position of nth minima from central maxima,

sin θ = nλa

here n = 2

∴ sin θ = 2×550×10−922×10−5 = 12

∴ θ = π6 rad.
