A linear aperture whose width is 0.02 cm is placed immediately in front of a lens of focal length 60 cm. The aperture is illuminated normally by a
parallel beam of wavelength 5 x 10-5 cm. The distance of the first dark band of the diffraction pattern from the centre of the screen is
0.10 cm
0.25 cm
0.20 cm
0.15 cm
None
The screen must be placed at a distance of 60cm from lens.
Hence
For first d ark b and b
= 1.5 mm or 0.15cm
Option 1)
0.10 cm
This solution is incorrect.
Option 2)
0.25 cm
This solution is incorrect.
Option 3)
0.20 cm
This solution is incorrect.
Option 4)
0.15 cm
This solution is correct.
