  • A
    Light source should be at infinity
  • B
    Both source and screen should be at infinity
  • C
    Only the source should be at finite distance

Find the correct condition$(s)$ for Fraunhofer diffraction due to a single slit.

In a Fraunhofer diffraction,light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance $D$. If the linear width of the central maximum is equal to two times the width of the slit,then the value of $D$ is:

The angular separation of the central maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is measured. The slit is illuminated by light of wavelength $6000 Å$. If the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength,the angular separation decreases by $20 \%$. The wavelength of light used is (in $Å$)
