(C) For the first minima in single slit diffraction,the condition is given by $a \sin \theta = n \lambda$.For the first minima,$n = 1$,so $a \sin \theta = \lambda$.Given:Slit width $a = 0.001 \text{ mm} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}$.Wavelength $\lambda = 5000 \mathring{A} = 5000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} = 5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}$.Substituting the values:$\sin \theta = \frac{\lambda}{a} = \frac{5 \times 10^{-7}}{1 \times 10^{-6}} = 0.5$.Since $\sin \theta = 0.5$,the angle of diffraction is $\theta = 30^{\circ}$.

Class 12 Physics Wave Optics Single Slit Diffraction of Light

Difficult

$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \mathring{A}$ is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width $0.001 \text{ mm}$. The light is focused by a convex lens on a screen placed on its focal plane. The first minima will be formed for the angle of diffraction of . . . . . . (degree).
