Problem 14-83 Diffraction
A point source emits light of wavelength 520nm toward a single slit of width 0.085mm. The light creates a diffraction pattern on a screen located 2.2m from the screen.
(a) What is the width of the central maximum?
(b) What angle do the first order fringes subtend with the slit?
[Ans. (a) 2.7cm (b) 0.70∘]
Which is the correct diagram for part (a) of this problem?
