In a single slit diffraction pattern, distance between the slit and the screen is doubled. Will there be any change in the angular separation between the fringes of pattern?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether doubling the distance between the slit and the screen changes the angular separation between the fringes in a single slit diffraction pattern, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of angular separation The angular separation between the fringes in a single slit diffraction pattern is defined by the angle θ, which can be calculated using the formula: \[ \theta = \frac{\lambda}{b} \] ...
