NEET 2016 Physics Diffraction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width a, the first minimum is observed at an angle 30° when light of wavelength 5000 Å is incident on the slit. The first secondary maximum is observed at an angle of
A
sin⁻¹(1/2)
B
sin⁻¹(3/4)
C
sin⁻¹(1/4)
D
sin⁻¹(1/6)
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The position of minima and maxima in a single slit diffraction pattern is determined by the slit width and wavelength, using the condition for secondary maxima.
