Assertion: The clouds in the sky generally appear to be whitish.
Reason: Diffraction due to clouds is efficient in equal measure at all wavelengths.

$A$ single slit diffraction experiment is performed to determine the slit width using the equation,$\frac{b d}{D} = m \lambda$,where $b$ is the slit width,$D$ is the distance between the slit and the screen,$d$ is the distance between the $m^{\text{th}}$ diffraction maximum and the central maximum,and $\lambda$ is the wavelength. $D$ and $d$ are measured with scales of least count of $1 \ cm$ and $1 \ mm$,respectively. The values of $\lambda$ and $m$ are known precisely to be $600 \ nm$ and $3$,respectively. The absolute error (in $\mu m$) in the value of $b$ estimated using the diffraction maximum that occurs for $m=3$ with $d=5 \ mm$ and $D=1 \ m$ is $.....$

Write the condition of $n^{th}$ order maximum in diffraction.

Why is the diffraction of sound waves more evident in daily experience than that of light waves?

If $n$ represents the order of a half-period zone,the area of this zone is approximately proportional to $n^m$,where $m$ is equal to:

In a single slit diffraction experiment, a parallel beam of green light of wavelength $\lambda = 550 \,nm$ passes through a slit of width $a = 0.20 \,mm$. The transmitted light is collected on a screen at a distance $D = 100 \,cm$ away. The distance of the first-order minima from the central maximum is $x \times 10^{-5} \,m$. The value of $x$ is:
