Optics Question 231

Question: In the far field diffraction pattern of a single slit under polychromatic illumination, the first minimum with the wavelength λ1 is found to be coincident with the third maximum at λ2 . So

Options:

A) 3λ1=0.3λ2

B) 3λ1=λ2

C) λ1=3.5λ2

D) 0.3λ1=3λ2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Position of first minima = position of third maxima i.e., 1×λ1Dd=(2×3+1)2λ2Ddλ1=3.5λ2
