उत्तर
Let λ and a be the wavelength and slit width of diffracting system, respectively. Let O be the position of central maximum. Condition for the first minimum is given by
asinθ=mλ .....(1)
Let θ be the angle of diffraction.
As diffraction angle is small
∴ sinθ ≈ θ
For the first diffraction minimum, let θ = θ1
For the first minimum, take m =1
aθ1=λ
`=>theta_1=lambda/a`
Now, angular width AB = θ1
Angular width BC = θ1
Angular width AC = 2θ1
Width of central maximum = 2θ1

In a Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron (1 micron = 10−6 m) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment.

In a Young's double slit experiment, the width of the one of the slit is three times the other slit. The amplitude of the light coming from a slit is proportional to the slit- width. Find the ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern.
Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits 1 mm apart with a light source (λ = 632.8 nm). The distance between the screen and the slits is 100 cm. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at distance of 1.27 mm from the central bright fringe, then the path difference between the waves, which are reaching this point from the slits is close to :
