To solve the problem of finding the wavelength of light in a single slit diffraction experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the setup In a single slit diffraction experiment, we have: - Distance from the slit to the screen (D) = 1 m - Width of the slit (a) = 0.7 mm = 0.7 × 10^-3 m - Distance of the second maximum from the center of the screen (y) = 2 mm = 2 × 10^-3 m ...
