1. Assertion (A): Diffraction is common in sound but not common in light waves. Reason (R): Wavelength of light wave is more than the wavelength of sound.  
2. Assertion (A): On increasing wavelength of light used, resolving power increases. Reason (R): On increasing wavelength, width of central maxima decreases.  
3. A beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda = 500 \text{ nm}\) from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 mm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The width of central maxima is
4. Assertion (A): We cannot get diffraction pattern from a wide slit illuminated by monochromatic light. Reason (R): In diffraction pattern, all the bright bands are not of the same intensity.  
5. A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \AA$ is incident normally on a single narrow slit of width 0.001 mm. The light is focused by a convex lens on a screen placed in focal plane. The first minimum will be formed for the angle of diffraction equal to (1993)
