Vedclass · Answer

(D) For a single slit diffraction,the condition for minima is $d \sin 	heta = n\lambda$ where $n = 1, 2, 3, ...$For the first minimum $(n=1)$,$d \sin 30^{\circ} = \lambda$.Since $\sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5$,we have $d(0.5) = \lambda$,which implies $d = 2\lambda$.The condition for secondary maxima is $d \sin 	heta = (n + \frac{1}{2})\lambda$ where $n = 1, 2, 3, ...$For the first secondary maximum $(n=1)$,$d \sin 	heta = (1 + \frac{1}{2})\lambda = \frac{3}{2}\lambda$.Substituting $d = 2\lambda$ into the equation:$2\lambda \sin 	heta = \frac{3}{2}\lambda$$\sin 	heta = \frac{3}{4}$$	heta = \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}ight)$.
