What should be the change of angular width of central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern when visible light of lower wavelength is used. Give explanation for each case.

Show that the width of central maximum is twice that of a secondary maximum and if the width of slit is increased, the width of diffraction fringes gets diminished.

What should be the change of angular width of central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern when distance between slit and screen is increased

What should be the change of angular width of central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern when Width of the slit is decreased.

In a single slit diffraction, what is the expression of linear width of the central maximum?

The angular width of central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 30^(@) . The width of the slit is 1 mu m. the slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young's fringes can be observer on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e., distance between the centres of each slit )

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60^(@) . The width of the slit is 1 mu m. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young's fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e. distance between the centres of each slit)

Draw the intensity pattern for single slit diffraction and double slit interference. Hence, state two differences between interference and diffraction patterns.

How does the angular separation between fringes in single slit diffracton experiment change when the distance of separation between the slit and screen is doubled ?
