उत्तर

Given:-

Width of the slit, b = 5.0 cm

First diffraction minimum is formed at θ = 30°.

For the diffraction minima, we have

`bsinθ = nλ`

For the first minima, we put n = 1.

\[5 \times \sin30^\circ = 1 \times \lambda\]

\[ \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{5}{2} = 2 . 5  cm\]

Therefore, the wavelength of the microwaves is 2.5 cm.
