A student and his lab partner create a single slit by carefully aligning two razor blades to a separation of 0.400 mm. When a helium–neon laser at 543 nm illuminates the slit, a diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2.15 m beyond the slit. Calculate the angle ?dark to the first minimum in the diffraction pattern and the width of the central maximum.

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
