Answer the following question:
Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?

A parallel beam of monochromatic light is used in a Young's double slit experiment. The slits are separated by a distance d and the screen is placed parallel to the plane of the slits. Show that if the incident beam makes an angle $\theta=\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{\lambda}{2\text{D}}\Big)$ with the normal to the plane of the slits, there will be a dark fringe at the centre P0 of the pattern.
