    In Youngs double slit experiment with sodium vapour lamp of wavelength 589 nm and the slits 0.589 mm apart, the half angular width of the central maximum is

    A)  \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(0.01)\]  

    B)         \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(0.0001)\]

    C)  \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(0.001)\]

    D)         \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(0.1)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to the Youngs double slit experiment half angular width is given by \[\sin \,(\theta )=\frac{\lambda }{d}\]                 \[=\frac{589\times {{10}^{-9}}}{0.589\times {{10}^{-3}}}={{10}^{-3}}\]                 \[\theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}({{10}^{-3}}).\]
