The central bright fringe in a single-slit diffraction pattern from light of wavelength $476 \mathrm{nm}$ is $2.0 \mathrm{cm}$ wide on a screen that is $1.05 \mathrm{m}$ from the slit. (a) How wide is the slit? (b) How wide are the first two bright fringes on either side of the central bright fringe? (Define the width of a bright fringe as the linear distance from minimum to minimum.)

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium–neon laser passes through a slit 0.350 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 3.00 m away. Define the width of a bright fringe as the distance between the minima on either side. (a) What is the width of the central bright fringe? (b) What is the width of the first bright fringe on either side of the central one?

The central bright fringe in a single-slit diffraction pattern has a width that equals the distance between the screen and the slit. Find the ratio $\lambda / W$ of the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light to the width $W$ of the slit.
