For a single slit of width ''a'' the first minimum of the interference pattern of a monochromatic light of wavelength e occurs at an angle of `(lambda)/(a)`. At the same angle of `(lambda)/(a)`, we get a maximum for two narrow slits separated by distance ''a''. Explain.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions for the first minimum in a single slit diffraction pattern and the condition for a maximum in a double slit interference pattern. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Single Slit Diffraction:** - For a single slit of width \( a \), the condition for the first minimum in the diffraction pattern is given by: \[ a \sin \theta = \lambda ...
