If red light is replaced by white light ...

If red light is replaced by white light then width of diffraction pattern will

A

increase

B

decrease

C

a central white band is obtained

D

no effect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since white light is not monochromatic , so we obtain a central whilte bond instead of getting fringes or a diffraction pattern.
