Single-slit diffraction setup with screen at distance \(D\).
Single-slit diffraction setup with screen at distance \(D\).
Monochromatic light with a wavelength of \(\lambda = 600\text{ nm}\) is incident normally on a single slit of width \(a = 0.12\text{ mm}\). The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance of \(D = 2.0\text{ m}\) from the slit. What is the distance on the screen between the center of the central bright maximum and the center of the second-order dark fringe?
