JEE Main 2025 Physics question
If the measured angular separation between the second minimum to the left to the central maximum and the third minimum to the right of the central maximum is 30° in a single slit diffraction pattern recorded using 628 nm light, then the width of the slit is μm.
Answer: 6
Solution
θ1+θ2 = 5λ/a = π/6, a = 30λ/π = 6 μm.
