Answer the following questions:
(a) 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?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The size reduces by half according to the relation: size `~lambda//d`. Intensity increases four fold.
