Answer:
14.64*10^-3 m
Explanation:
given that
Length of the wavelength, λ = 500*10^-9 m
Diameter of the hole, D = 0.5 mm
length of the slit, L = 6 m
W = 2.44 λL / D, where
W = width of the screen in m
λ = wavelength of the light in nm
L = length of the slit in m
D = diameter of the hole in m
on substituting the values, we have
W = (2.44 * 500*10^-9 * 6) / 0.5*10^-3
W = 7.32*10^-6 / 0.5*10^-3
W = 0.01464 mm
or also, 14.64*10^-3 m
