$A$ 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:

$A$ light ray of wavelength $\lambda$ is passing through a pinhole of diameter $D$ and the effect is observed on a screen placed at a distance $L$ from the pinhole. The approximations of geometrical optics are applicable, if

In a single-slit diffraction experiment,what is the width of the slit $(b)$ such that $20$ maxima of a double-slit interference pattern are obtained within the central maximum of the diffraction pattern? (Given: Slit separation for the double-slit arrangement $d = 2 \, mm$)

$A$ slit of size $0.15 \ cm$ is placed at $2.1 \ m$ from a screen. On illuminating it by a light of wavelength $5 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$,the width of the central maxima will be:
