Yellow light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment with slit width of 0.6 mm. If yellow light is replaced by X-rays, then the observed pattern will reveal,

A

that the central maximum is narrower

B

more number of fringes

C

less number fringes

D

no diffraction pattern

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For diffraction pattern to be observed, the dimension of slit should be comparable to the wave length of rays. The wavelength of X-rays `(1-100A) is less than 0.6mm.
