    Two slits are 1 mm1\text{ }mm apart and the screen is located 1 m1\text{ }m away from the slits. A light wavelength 500 nm500\text{ }nm is used. The width of each slit to obtain 10 maxima of the double slit pattern within the central maximum of the single slit pattern is ………..×10−4 m\ldots\ldots\ldots.. \times10^{- 4}\text{ }m.

    In a Young's double slit experiment, two slits are located 1.5 mm apart. The distance of screen from slits is 2 m and the wavelength of the source is 400 nm . If the 20 maxima of the double slit pattern are contained within the centre maximum of the single slit diffraction pattern, then the width of each slit is x×10−3 cmx \times 10^{- 3}\text{ }cm, where x -value is
