Answer:

15mm

Explanation:

We know that for circular holes first dark spot is given by

sin စ = 1.22 λ/D

Also we know that at the same time

tan စ = r/L

So

r = L tanစ = 6 x tan( arcsin(1.22x 500 x10^9/0.50 x 10^ 3))

= 0.0073 m = 7.3 mm

However since the size is twice that so 14.6 mm which is approx 15mm
