Light of wavelength is incident on a single slit of width 'a' and the distance between slit and screen is 'D'. In diffraction pattern, if slit width is equal to the width of the central maximum then 'D' is equal to

Answer: (D)

Solution

For a single slit, the width of the central maximum on a screen at distance is (twice the distance to the first minimum, ). The condition says this equals the slit
