Question

laser with wavelength 633 nm illuminates a single slit of width 0.185 mm. The diffraction pattern is seen on a screen. The distance between the first and second dark fringes is 8.25 mm. How far is the screen from the slit

Answer 1

A helium-neon laser (λ = 633 nm) illuminates a single slit and is observed on a screen 1.30 m behind the slit. The distance between the first and second minima in the diffraction pattern is 3.95 mm .
