Why?
From fireworks to stars, the color of light is useful in finding out what's in matter. The emission of g
by hydrogen and other atoms has played a key role in understanding the electronic structure of atoms.
Trace materials, such as evidence from a crime scene, lead in paint or mercury in drinking water, can be
identified by heating or burning the materials and examining the color(s) of light given off in the form of
bright-line spectra.

Write down an expression for the angle of the first minimum of diffraction of light of
wavelength A by a circular aperture of diameter d. Please use appropriate algebraic symbols
for multiplication (* for a × b), division (/ for a/b), exponents (a^b for a³), square root
(sqrt(a*b/c) for √a × b/c) etc. For Greek letters use their names e.g. "theta" (without the
quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin", "asin" (for arc sine etc., without
the quotes). Thus for Acose use A* cos theta or for A*sin¹ (a+b) use A*asin(a+b) etc. Please use
