MCQ
Angular width of the central maxima the Fraunhofer diffraction for $\lambda=6000 \;\mathring A$ is $\theta_{0} .$ When the same slit Is lluminated by another monochromatic light, the angular wildth decreases by $30 \% .$ The wavelength of this light is.......$\mathring A$
  • A
    $1800$
  • $4200$
  • C
    $6000$
  • D
    $420$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4200$
b
Angular width $\propto \frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d}} $

$\Rightarrow \frac{\theta_{0}}{0.7 \theta_{0}}=\frac{\frac{6000 {\mathring A}}{\mathrm{d}}}{\frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d}}} $$\Rightarrow \lambda=4200 \mathring A$
