If I0 is the intensity of the principal ...

If `I_0` is the intensity of the principal maximum in the single slit diffraction pattern. Then what will be its intensity when the slit width is doubled?

A

`I_(0)/2`

B

`I_(0)`

C

`4I_(0)`

D

`2I_(0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The intensity of the principal maximum in the single slit diffraction patternn does not depend upon the slit width. Hence the intensity will be `I_(0)`.
