Red light is generally used to observe diffraction pattern from single slit. If blue light is used instead of red light, then diffraction pattern.

A

(a) Will be more clear

B

(b) Will contract

C

(c) Will expanded

D

(d) Will not be visualized

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`lambda_(Blue)ltlambda_(Red)`. Therefore, fringe pattern will contact because fringe width `proplambda`
