Intensity of Diffracted light -

I= I_{0}frac{sin^{2} eta }{eta ^{2}}
 

- wherein

Where

eta = frac{pi }{lambda }left ( bsin heta ight )

 

 At the first minimum, wavelet coming from edge of the slit is balanced out by wavelet coming from middle of the slit hence the phase difference between wavelet from edge of the slit to wavelet from middle of the slit is \pi radian

 


Option 1)

\frac{\pi } {2} radian

This option is incorrect

Option 2)

\pi radian

This option is correct

Option 3)

\frac{\pi } {8} radian

This option is incorrect

Option 4)

\frac{\pi } {4} radian

This option is incorrect
