To find the angular width of the central maxima in a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 650 \, \text{nm} = 650 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Width of the slit, \( D = 1.3 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{cm} = 1.3 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the angle of the first minimum In a single slit diffraction pattern, the angle \( \theta \) for the first minimum is given by: ...
