Answer:

<h2> 1.643*10⁻⁴cm</h2>

Explanation:

In a single slit experiment, the distance on a screen from the centre point is expressed as y = \frac{\delta m \lambda d}{a} where;

\delta m is the first two diffraction minima = 1

\lambda is light wavelength

d is the distance of diffraction pattern from the screen

a is the width of the slit

Given \lambda = 460-nm = 460*10⁻⁹m

d = 5.0mm = 5*10⁻³m

a = 1.4mm = 1.4*10⁻³m

Substituting this values into the formula above to get width of the central maximum y;

y = 1*460*10⁻⁹ * 5*10⁻³/1.4*10⁻³

y = 2300*10⁻¹²/1.4*10⁻³

y = 1642.86*10⁻⁹

y = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

Converting the final value to cm,

since 100cm = 1m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶ * 100

x = 1.643*10⁻⁴cm

Hence, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 mm away is  1.643*10⁻⁴cm
