A linear aperture whose width is 0.02 cm is placed immediately in front of a lens of focal length 60 cm. The aperture is illuminated normally by a parallel beam of wavelength $5\times {10}^{-5}$ cm. The distance of the first dark band of the diffraction pattern from the centre of the screen is

1. 0.10 cm             

2. 0.25 cm 

3. 0.20 cm             

4. 0.15 cm

In a diffraction pattern due to a single slit of width a,the first minimum is observed at an angle ${30}^{\circ }$ when light of wavelength 5000 $\dot{A}$ is incident on the slit. The first secondary maximum is observed at an angle of 

1. ${\sin }^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$           
2. ${\sin }^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
3. ${\sin }^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$           
4. ${\sin }^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$

For a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength diffraction is produced by a single slit whose width 'a' is of the order of the wavelength of the light. If 'D' is the distance of the screen from the slit, the width of the central maxima will be

(1)2Dλ/a

(2)Dλ/a

(3)Da/λ

(4)2Da/λ

At the first minimum adjacent to the central maximum of a single slit diffraction pattern, the phase difference between the Huygen's wavelet from the edge of the slit and the wavelet from the midpoint of the slit is

(1) π/4 radian

(2) π/2 radian

(3) π radian

(4) π/8 radian

A beam of light of 600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 mm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The distance between first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is
                      
1. 1.2cm

2. 1.2mm

3. 2.4cm

4. 2.4mm
