Question
In an experiment of single slit diffraction pattern, first minimum for red light coincides with first maximum of some other wavelength . If wavelength of red light is $6600\,\mathop A\limits^o$ , then wavelength of first maximum will be.....$\mathop A\limits^o $

Answer

In a single slit experiment, For diffraction maxima,

$a\sin \theta  = \left( {2n + 1\frac{\lambda }{2}} \right)$

and for diffraction minima,

$a \sin \theta=n \lambda$

According to question,

$\left(2 \times 1+1 \frac{\lambda}{2}\right)=1 \times 6600$

$\left( {\because {\lambda _{\text{R}}} = 6600\,\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^o } \right)$

${\lambda  = \frac{{6600 \times 2}}{3}}$

$\,\lambda  = 4400\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^o $
