Find the half angular width of the central bright maximum in the fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a slit of width 12xx10^(-5)cm when the slit is illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength 6000 Å.

Use Huygens's principle to explain the formation of diffraction pattern due to a single slit illuminated by a monochromatic source of light. When the width of the slit is made double the original width, how would this affect the size and intensity of the central diffraction band ?

Angular width of central maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a slit is measured. The slit is illuminated by light of wavelength 6000Å . When the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength, the angular width decreases by 30% . Calculate the wavelength of this light. The same decrease in the angular width of central maximum is obtained when the original apparatus is immersed in a liquid. Find the refractive index of the liquid.
