The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for the first minimum in single-slit diffraction In a single-slit diffraction pattern, the condition for the first minimum is given by the equation: \[ a \sin \theta = n \lambda \] where: - \( a \) is the width of the slit, - \( \theta \) is the angle of the minimum, - \( n \) is the order of the minimum (for the first minimum, \( n = 1 \)), - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the light. ### Step 2: Substitute the known values into the equation From the problem, we know: - \( \theta = 30^\circ \) - \( \lambda = 5000 \, \text{Å} = 5000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \) Substituting these values into the equation for the first minimum: \[ a \sin(30^\circ) = 1 \cdot \lambda \] Since \( \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \), we have: \[ a \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 5 \times 10^{-7} \] This gives us: \[ a = 2 \cdot 5 \times 10^{-7} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} = 1000 \, \mu m \] ### Step 3: Find the condition for the first secondary maximum The condition for the secondary maxima in single-slit diffraction is given by: \[ a \sin \theta_1 = \left( n + \frac{1}{2} \right) \lambda \] For the first secondary maximum, \( n = 1 \): \[ a \sin \theta_1 = \left( 1 + \frac{1}{2} \right) \lambda = \frac{3}{2} \lambda \] ### Step 4: Substitute the value of \( a \) into the equation for the first secondary maximum Substituting \( a = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \) and \( \lambda = 5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \) into the equation: \[ 1 \times 10^{-6} \sin \theta_1 = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 5 \times 10^{-7} \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 \times 10^{-6} \sin \theta_1 = \frac{15}{10} \times 10^{-7} \] \[ \sin \theta_1 = \frac{15}{10} \times \frac{10^{-7}}{10^{-6}} = \frac{15}{10} \cdot 0.1 = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( \theta_1 \) Now we find \( \theta_1 \): \[ \theta_1 = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle for the first secondary maximum is: \[ \theta_1 = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \]

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for the first minimum in single-slit diffraction In a single-slit diffraction pattern, the condition for the first minimum is given by the equation: \[ a \sin \theta = n \lambda \] where: - \( a \) is the width of the slit, - \( \theta \) is the angle of the minimum, ...
