In a single slit diffraction pattern

In a single slit diffraction pattern, if the light source is used of less wave length then previous one. Then width of the central fringe will be-

In a single slit diffraction patternm, the distance between the first minimum on the left and the first minimum on the right is 5 mm. The screen on which the diffraction pattern is displayed is at a distance of 80 cm friom the silt. The wavelength is 6000 Å. The slit width ( in mm) is about .

In a single slit diffraction pattern, how is the angular width of central bright maximum changed when (i) the slit width is decreased. (ii) the distance between the slit and screen is increased. (iii) Light of smaller wavelength is used. Justify your answer.

In a single - slit diffraction pattern , the position of first secondary maximum is at 30^@ , then what will be the angular position of second minima ?

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60^(@) . The width of the slit is 1 mu m . The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young’s fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e. distance between the centres of each slit.)

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60^(@) . The width of the slit is 1 mu m . The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young’s fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e. distance between the centres of each slit.)
