Calculate the width of central maxima, if light of 9000Å incidents upon a slit of width 1.5 mm. Screen is kept 150 cm away from the slit.

A

1.8 mm

B

1.30 mm

C

0.9 mm

D

0.9 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Width of central maxima
`=(2Dlambda)/d=(2xx1.5xx9xx10^(-7))/(1.5xx10^(-3)) =18xx10^(-4) m=1.8 mm`
