Explanation / Answer

(A) d = (1 mm) / 500 = (10^-3 / 500 )m

d = 2 x 10^-6 m


lambda = 530 nm = 530 x 10^-9 m

sin(theta) = m lambda / d

maximum value of sin(theta) is 1.

SO, 1 = m (530 x 10^-9) / (2 x 10^-6 )

m = 3.77


m_max = 3 .......Ans

(B) m = 0 ; sin(theta) = 0 => theta = 0

m =1 ; sin(theta) = (1 x 530 x 10^-9)/(2 x 10^-6)

= 0.265

theta = 15 deg


m = 2 ; sin(theta) = 0.530

theta = 32 deg


m = 3 ; sin(theta) = 0.795

theta = 53 deg

Ans: 0 , 15 , 32 , 53
