If we observe the single slit Fraunhofer diffraction with wavelength lambda and slit width d, the width of the central maxima is 2theta . On decreasing the slit width for the same lambda

(a) Derive the relation a sin theta=lambda for the first minimum of the diffraction pattern produced due to a single slit of width ‘a’ using light of wavelength lambda . (b) State with reason, how the linear width of central maximum will be affected if (i) monochromatic yellow light is replaced with red light, and (ii) distance between the slit and the screen is increased. (c) Using the monochromatic light of same wavelength in the experimental set-up of the diffraction pattern as well as in the interference pattern where the slit separation is 1 mm, 10 interference fringes are found to be within the central maximum of the diffraction pattern. Determine the width of the single slit, if the screen is kept at the same distance from the slit in the two cases.

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 its original width. Then the central maximum of the diffraction pattern will become
