  • A
    $2 \, mm$
  • B
    $10 \, m$
  • C
    $20 \, km$
  • D

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. Fresnel's diffraction pattern occurs when the source of light or the screen on which the diffraction pattern is seen,or when both are at a finite distance from the aperture.
$B$. Diffracted light can be used to estimate the helical structure of nucleic acids.

For what distance is ray optics a good approximation when the aperture is $3\; mm$ wide and the wavelength is $500\; nm$?

$A$ light beam of wavelength $800 \,nm$ passes through a single slit and is projected on a screen kept at $5 \,m$ away from the slit. What should be the slit width for the ray optics approximation to be valid (in $\,mm$)?

In a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern,the slit width is $0.5 \ mm$ and the screen is at $2 \ m$ away from the lens. If the wavelength of the light used is $5500 \ Å$,then the distance between the first minima on either side of the central maximum is (assume $\theta$ is small and measured in radians). (in $mm$)

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