Explanation / Answer

for single slit

for maxima dx = (n+1/2)*lambda

distance of nth maxima from central maxima =(n+1/2)*lambda*D/d

for minima dx= n*lambda

distance of nth minima from central maxima = n*lambda*D/d

1. 20.46 mm for n= 1

2. 34.1 mm for n=2

3. 47.74 mm for n=3

4. 13.64 mm for n=1

5. 27.28 mm for n=2

6. 40.92 mm for n=3
