The second minimum in the diffraction pattern of a 0.11-mm-wide slit occurs at 0.72°. what is the wavelength of the light?

691.13 nm

Explanation:

d = width of the slit = 0.11 x 10⁻³ m

θ = angle of diffraction pattern = 0.72° degree

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

m = order = 2                              (since second minimum)

for the second minimum diffraction pattern we use the equation

d Sinθ = m λ

Inserting the values

(0.11 x 10⁻³) Sin0.72 = (2) λ

λ = 691.13 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 691.13 nm

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
