Write down an expression for the width of the central bright line on a screen in the single slit diffraction experiment in terms of the diffraction slit
width d, the distance from the slit to the screen D and the wavelength of light X. Consider D>> d. Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g.
B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as
either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. For greek letters use "theta" (without the quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin" (without the quotes).
Thus for Acose use A*cos theta. Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect.
