In single slit diffraction pattern, how does the angular separation between firnges change when distance of screen from slit is doubled ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Angular separation `= (beta)/(D) = (lambda)/(d)`
as both, `lambda and d` remain unchanged, angular separation between fringes remains the same.
