Consider a single slit that produces a first-order minimum at 16.5° when illuminated with monochromatic light. show answer No Attempt 50% Part (a) At what angle, in degrees, is the second-order minimum?

Explanation:

Path difference for the destructive interference of a single slit:

For the first - order minimum, n = 1, and

.........(1)

For the second - order minimum, n = 2,  and

.........(2)

Dividing equation (2) by equation (1):

v=ir = 3x15 =45 v
