Question

In a single slit experiment, the distance between two dark fringes of the second order is 10 cm on a screen which is 1.5 m
away. If the wavelength of the light is 650 nm, find the width of the slit.

Please provide a well explained and right solution for the following.

Expert Solution

Step 1 :Introduction

The fringe width which is the distance between two consecutive fringes is calculated by using the formula $β = \frac{λ D}{d}$ , where $λ$ is the wavelength , $D$ is the distance between the slit and screen and $d$ is the slit width .
