1. S1 and S2, shown above, are thin parallel slits in an opaqueplate. A plane wave of wavelength λ is incident from the leftmoving in a direction perpendicular to the plate. On a screenfar from the slits there are maximums and minimums in intensity atvarious angles measured from the center line. As the angle isincreased from zero, the first minimum occurs at 3 degrees. Thenext minimum occurs at an angle of-
A. 4.5 degrees
B. 6 degrees
C. 7.5 degrees
D. 9 degrees
E. 12 degrees

6 degrees
dsin0=mλ
sin3=(1)(λd)
(λd)=0.052
When m=2,
sin0=0.105 therefore theta is 6 degrees.
