To solve the problem of how the width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction experiment is affected when the experiment is immersed in water, we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Width of Central Maximum**:
The width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is given by the formula:
\[
\text{Width} = \frac{2\lambda}{A}

In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made half of the original width:
In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made double its original width. Then the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will become
In single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the central maximum inversely proportional to
In single slit diffraction experiment, yellow light is replaced by X-rays. How will the diffraction pattern be affected ?
In the experiment of diffraction at a single slit, if the slit width is decreased, the wdith of the central maximum
In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made double the original width. How does this affect the size and intensity of the central diffraction band ?
