Question 383: Wave Optics

Question

In diffraction experiment, from a single slit, the angular width of the central maxima does not depend upon

Accepted Answer

In diffraction from a single slit, the angular width of central maxima,
$$	heta=\frac{2 \lambda}{a}$$
where, $$\lambda=$$ wavelength of light used,
and $$\quad a=$$ width of the slit.
$$	herefore$$ Angular width does not depend upon the distance of the slit from the screen.

Answer

ratio of wavelength and slit width

Answer

distance of the slit from the screen

Answer

wavelength of light used

Answer

width of the slit
