Question : 27
Total: 37
In a single slit diffraction experiment, width of the slit is increased. How will the (a) size and (b) intensity of central bright band be affected? Justify your answer.
Solution:  

The width of the central bright band =2D×
λ
d

where d= width of the slit.
(i) As the width of the slit is doubled, the size of the central diffraction band will be half.
(ii) Intensity of central bright band is proportional to d2.
So, the intensity will get quadrupled.
