MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document This is basically a Single slit diffraction experiment.
d = width of the aperture or slit =0.1 mm=0.01 cm
L=distance between the aperture and the screen = 93cm
We know:
β = λ L d λ = 0.01 × .5 93 = 0.000053763 c m = 5.3763 × 10 5 c m = 5376.3   Awhere β = 5 m m (the distance between the central fringeand first fringe)
The wavelength of light source used is 5376.3 Angstroms
