Answer:
Angular spacing of central maximum in single slit pattern = 2×(λ/a) .............(1)
where λ is wavelength of light used and a is slit width.
Angular spacing of single interference fringe pattern in double slit experiment = λ/d .............(2)
where d is distance between slits.
from eqn.(1) and (2), we can calculate the slit width a for 10 maximum slit pattern as follows
10×( λ/d ) = 2×(λ/a) or a = d/5 ...............(3)
d is given as 2mm. Hence slit width a = 0.4 mm.
