A monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is incident normally on a single slit of width 0.2 mm to produce a diffraction pattern. Find the angular widthof central maximum obtainedon the screen, 1 m away. Estimate the number of fringes obtained in YDSE with fringe width 0.5 mm, which can be accommodated within the region of total angular spread of the central maximum due to a single slit.

Answer»

Solution :Calculation of angular width of central maxima Estimation of number of fringes.
Angular width of central maximum
`OMEGA=(2lamda)/a`
`=(2xx5xx10^(-9))/(0.2xx10^(-3))` radin
`=5xx10^(-3)` radin
`beta=(lamdaD)/d`
Lines width of central maxima in the diffraction pattern 2XD
`omega'=(2lamdaD)/a`
Let n be the number of interference fringes which can be accommodated in the central maxima.
`:. nxxbeta= `
[Award the LAST 5 mark if the student WRITES the answer as 2 (taking `d=a`), or just attempts to do these calculation.]
