Red light of wavelength $5400 \ \mathring{A}$ from a distant source falls on a slit $0.80 \ mm$ wide. Calculate the distance between the first two dark bands on each side of the central bright band in the diffraction pattern observed on a screen placed $1.4 \ m$ from the slit. (in $mm$)

$A$ light wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$. If the linear width of the principal maxima is equal to the width of the slit,then the distance $D$ is:

Yellow light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment with a slit width of $0.6 \, mm$. If the yellow light is replaced by $X$-rays,then the pattern will reveal:

Assertion : Standard optical diffraction gratings cannot be used for discriminating between $X-$ray wavelengths.
Reason : The grating spacing is not of the order of $X-$ray wavelengths.
