Light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is incident on a single slit of width $0.3 \, mm$. The angular position of the first minima will be

The penetration of light into the region of geometrical shadow is called:

In a diffraction experiment from a single slit,the angular width of the central maximum does $NOT$ depend upon:

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made double the original width. How does this affect the size and intensity of the central diffraction band?
$(b)$ In what way is diffraction from each slit related to the interference pattern in a double-slit experiment?
$(c)$ When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from a distant source, a bright spot is seen at the centre of the shadow of the obstacle. Explain why?
$(d)$ Two students are separated by a $7 \; m$ partition wall in a room $10 \; m$ high. If both light and sound waves can bend around obstacles, how is it that the students are unable to see each other even though they can converse easily?
$(e)$ Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?

In the experiment of diffraction at a single slit,if the slit width is decreased,the width of the central maximum

$A$ circular disc is placed in front of a narrow source. When the point of observation is $2 \, m$ from the disc,it covers the first $HPZ$. The intensity at this point is $I$. When the point of observation is $25 \, cm$ from the disc,the intensity will be:
