A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelength 6000 Å. The slit width is 0.1 cm and the screen is placed 1 m away. The angular position of `10^(th)` minimum in radian is

A

`2 xx 10^(-4)`

B

`6 xx 10^(-3)`

C

`3 xx 10^(-3)`

D

`1 xx 10^(-4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here, `n=10,lambda=6000 Ã…=6xx10^(-7)m,`
`d=0.1cm=10^(-3)m`
Angular position of `10^(th)` minima,
`theta=(n lambda)/(d)=(10xx6xx10^(-7))/(10^(-3))=6xx10^(-3)`rad
