Optics Question 195

Question: The light of wavelength 6328AA is incident on a slit of width 0.2 mm perpendicularly, the angular width of central maxima will be

[MP PMT 1987; Pb. PMT 2002]

Options:

A) 0.36o

B) 0.18o

C) 0.72o

D) 0.09o

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

The angular half width of the central maxima is given by sinθ=λa

θ=6328×10100.2×103 rad =6328×1010×800.2×103×π degree = 0.18o

Total width of central maxima =2θ=0.36o
