What is the wavelength of light if the first-order maximum occurs at an angle of 30° in a double-slit experiment with a slit separation of 0.1 mm and a screen distance of 1 m? (2019)
0.5 mm
0.3 mm
0.2 mm
0.1 mm
Using the formula λ = d sin θ / m, where d = 0.1 mm, θ = 30°, and m = 1, we find λ = 0.1 mm * sin(30°) = 0.1 mm * 0.5 = 0.05 mm = 0.2 mm.
