A Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is produced on a screen 1.30 m from a single slit.

A Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is produced on a screen 1.30 m from a single slit. If a light source of 560 nm is used and the distance from the center of the central bright fringe to the first dark fringe is 5.30 * 10^-3 m, what is the slit width?

The value is a = 0.000137 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The distance from the screen is  D =  1.30 m

    The wavelength of the light source is  \lambda =  560 \ nm =  560 *10^{-9} \  m

     The path difference is mathematically represented as  y = 5.30 *10^{-3} \  m

Generally the path difference is mathematically represented as

        y  =  \frac{m *  D  *  \lambda }{a}

Here m is 1 given that we are considering the first dark fringe

So  

       a =  \frac{ m  *  \lambda  *  D}{y}

=>     a = \frac{1 * 560 *10^{-9 } *  1.30 }{ 5.30 *10^{-3}}

=>     a = \frac{1 8 560 *10^{-9 } *  1.30 }{ 5.30 *10^{-3}}

=>     a = 0.000137 \  m

I don't know a whole but here:For in the United States from and between 2001 & 2011, the electricity generation blend changed to have  less coal-produced electricity & more natural gas-produced electricity. The portion of nuclear &  hydropower-produced electricity rendured about the same over the 10 year stamp. Use of  renewable energy increased as well. The largest electricity source remains coal, howeve
