NEET Physics Diffraction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A single slit of width a is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength 600 nₘ. The value of 'a' for which first minimum appears at θ = 30° on the screen will be :

A

0.6 μm

B

2 μm

C

8 μm

D

3 μm

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the single-slit diffraction formula for the first minimum, a sin θ = mλ, where m = 1, the width a is calculated.
