Problem

Which of the following equations gives the condition for the

m

th dark fringe (diffraction minimum) produced by monochromatic light of wavelength

\lambda

passing through a single slit of width

a

at angle

\theta

? a)

a\sin\theta = \left(m+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\lambda

a\cos\theta = m\lambda

a\sin\theta = m\lambda

a\sin\theta = \dfrac{m\lambda}{2}
