A single slit diffraction experiment is performed to determine the slit width using the equation, , where is the slit width, the shortest distance between the slit and the screen, the distance between the diffraction maximum and the central maximum, and is the wavelength. and are measured with scales of least count of 1 cm and 1 mm , respectively. The values of and are known precisely to be 600 nm and 3, respectively. The absolute error (in ) in the value of estimated using the diffraction maximum that occurs for with and is .
