प्रश्न
In a single slit diffraction experiment, how does the angular width of the central maxima change when:
- screen is moved away from the plane of the slit?
- width of the slit is increased?
- light of larger wavelength is used?
उत्तर
The angular width of central maximum ∝ `lambda/"e"`:
- Angular width remains unchanged when the screen is moved away from the plane of the slit.
- The angular width decreases when the width of slit (e) is increased.
- The angular width will increase if light of larger wavelength (λ) is used.
