As we learnt in

Fraunhofer Diffraction -

bsin heta = nlambda
 

- wherein

A condition of nth minima.

b= slit width

heta = angle of deviation

 

For first minima; b\sin \Theta =\lambda

\sin \Theta =\frac{\lambda }{b}

since \Theta = 30\:\lambda =\frac{b}{2}

For 1^{st} secondary maxima

b\sin \Theta ^{1}=\frac{3\lambda }{2}

\sigma r \sin \Theta ^{1}=\frac{3\lambda }{2b}=\frac{3}{4}

\Theta ^{1}=\sin ^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{4} \right )


Option 1)

{\text{sin}}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)

Incorrect

Option 2)

{\text{sin}}^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)

Incorrect

Option 3)

{\text{sin}}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)

Incorrect

Option 4)

{\text{sin}}^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)

Correct
