Question 366: Wave Optics

Question

The width of central maximum of a diffraction pattern on a single slit does not depend upon

Accepted Answer

The width of central maximum is given by
$$\mathrm{W}=\frac{2 \lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{a}}$$
W depends on wavelength of light $$\lambda$$, which is related to the frequency. Hence question is not proper.

Answer

Answer

width of the slit

Answer

distance between slit and source
