Question: A diffraction pattern is produced by light on a single slit of width 1 . 1 3 mm . The distance from the central maximum

A diffraction pattern is produced by light on a single slit of width 1.13 mm. The distance from the central maximum and the second dark fringe is y1. A similar diffraction pattern is produced by the same light on a single slit of width 3.74 mm but the distance to the second dark fringe is y2. What is the ratio of the two first order dark fringes, y1/y2? Assume that the angle between the central axis maximum and the first order minimum for both slits is small.
