Answer:
The width is [tex]w_c = 0.00422 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 6.33*10^{-7} \ m[/tex]
The width of the slit is [tex]d = 0.3\ mm = 0.3 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is [tex]D = 1.0 \ m[/tex]
Generally the central maximum is mathematically represented as
[tex]w_c = 2 * y[/tex]
Here y is the width of the first order maxima which is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D}{d}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]y = \frac{6.33*10^{-7} * 1.0}{ 0.30}[/tex]
[tex]y = 0.00211 \ m[/tex]
So
[tex]w_c = 2 *0.00211[/tex]
[tex]w_c = 0.00422 \ m[/tex]
