Question

A monochromatic light of wavelength … is incident on the single slit of width …. If the diffraction pattern is formed at the focus of the convex lens of focal length …, the linear width of the central maximum is :

Accepted Answer

Option B. To find the linear width of the central maximum in a single-slit diffraction pattern, we can use the formula that relates the position of the first minima on either side of the central maximum. The angle, …, at which the first minimum occurs is given by:
