For a parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength diffraction is produced by a single slit whose width is of the order of the wavelength of the light. If is the distance of the screen from the slit, the width of the central maxima will be
To solve this problem, we need to understand the diffraction pattern produced by a single slit.When light passes through a single slit of width it creates a diffraction pattern on a screen placed at a distance from the slit.The central maximum is the brightest and widest part of the diffraction pattern.The angular width of the central maximum is given by the condition for the first minimum on either side of the central maximum.
