Answer:

The value is [tex]A = 0.00214 \ m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 500 \ nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

     The diameter of the aperture is [tex]d = 30 \mu m = 30*10^{-6} \ m[/tex]

     The distance of the screen from the aperture is [tex]D = 350 \ m m = 0.350 \ m[/tex]

Generally the distance from the center the the edge of the central bright fringe is magmatically reparented as

          [tex]y = \frac{m * \lambda * D}{d}[/tex]

Generally m =  1 because after the central bright fringe we have the first order fringe

So

          [tex]y = \frac{1 * 500 *10^{-9} * 0.350}{30*10^{-6}}[/tex]

=>       [tex]y =0.00583 \ m[/tex]

Generally the area of the central bright fringe

           [tex]A = 2 \pi * y^2[/tex]

=>        [tex]A = 2 * 3.142 * 0.00583^2[/tex]

=>        [tex]A = 0.00214 \ m^2[/tex]
