A parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident on a slit of width 0.1 mm. Find the angle in which most of the light is diffracted. Wavelength of light used is 500 nm.

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the angle in which most of the light is diffracted when a parallel beam of monochromatic light passes through a slit of width 0.1 mm, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the given values to standard units
- The width of the slit (d) is given as 0.1 mm. We convert this to meters:
\[ d = 0.1 \, \text{mm} = 0.1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \]
- The wavelength of the light (\(\lambda\)) is given as 500 nm. We convert this to meters:
