A diffraction pattern is produced on a screen 1.40 m from a single slit, using monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm. The distance from the center of the central maximum to the first order minimum is 3.00 mm. Assume that the first order maximum is halfway between the first and second order minima.  Calculate the slit width.

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
