Answer

$0.025mm$

Work Step by Step

We can use the we found in part a ($\theta_R= 8.8*10^{-7}rad$) with the given focal length of $f=14m$ to find the radius, $r$, of the dark ring. $r=f\sin \theta$ $r=14m\sin 8.8*10^{-7}rad$ $r=1.232*10^{-5}m$ The diameter of the dark ring is twice the radius. $d=2r$ $d=2 *1.232*10^{-5}m$ $d=2.464 *10^{-5}m$ $d=0.025mm$
