The Figure Shows the Resulting Pattern of Light Intensity When $10 ^{- 3}$

question 29

Short Answer

The figure shows the resulting pattern of light intensity when a single slit is illuminated by monochromatic light.The slit is 0.3 × $10 ^{- 3}$ m wide and is illuminated by light of wavelength 506 nm.A diffraction pattern is seen on a screen 2.8 m from the slit.What is the linear distance on the screen between the first two diffraction minima on either side of the central diffraction maximum?
