STANDARD Physics Diffraction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A slit of width a is illuminated by white light. The first minimum for red light (λ = 6500 Å) will fall at θ = 30° when a will be
A
3200 Å
B
6.5 × 10⁻⁴ mm
C
1.3 micron
D
2.6 × 10⁻⁴ cm
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
For the first minimum, a sin θ = λ. Substituting the given values, a = λ/sin θ = 6500 × 10⁻⁷ / sin 30° = 1.3 micron.
