In a laboratory,diffraction due to a single slit is observed. If the slit is made slightly narrower,then the diffraction pattern will:

  • A
    become wider than before.
  • B
    become narrower than before.
  • C
    remain the same width as before.
  • D
    disappear.

In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is reduced. What happens to the linear width of the principal maxima?

If a narrow slit of width $2 \, mm$ is illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength $500 \, nm$,then the distance between the first minima on both sides on a screen at a distance of $1 \, m$ is ....... $mm$.

$A$ single slit diffraction pattern is formed with white light. For what wavelength of light the $4^{\text{th}}$ secondary maximum in the diffraction pattern coincides with the $3^{\text{rd}}$ secondary maximum in the pattern of light of wavelength $\lambda$?

Assertion: $A$ coloured spectrum is seen when we look through a muslin cloth.
Reason: It is due to the diffraction of white light on passing through fine slits.

In a single slit diffraction pattern:
