In a Fraunhofer diffraction,light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance $D$. If the linear width of the central maximum is equal to two times the width of the slit,then the value of $D$ is:

Estimate the distance for which ray optics is a good approximation for an aperture of $4 \; mm$ and wavelength $400 \; nm$.

In a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern,the slit width is $0.2 \ mm$ and the screen is at $2 \ m$ away from the lens. If the distance between the first minimum on either side of the central maximum is $1 \ cm$,the wavelength of light used is: (in $Å$)

In a Fraunhofer diffraction of a single slit, when a slit is illuminated by a light of wavelength $6480 \text{ Å}$, the angular width of the central maximum is measured. When the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength '$\lambda$',the angular width decreases by $25\%$. The value of '$\lambda$' in $\text{Å}$ is:
