One way to measure the width of a narrow object is to examine its diffraction pattern. When laser light is shone on a long, thin object, such as a straightened strand of human hair, the resulting diffraction pattern has minima at the same angles as for a slit of the same width. If a laser of wavelength 632.8 nm directed onto a hair produces a diffraction pattern on a screen 3.60 m away and the width of the central maximum is 1.50 cm, what is the thickness of the hair? um

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.
