A diffraction pattern is obtained using a beam of redlight. What happens if the red light is replaced by blue light

A

No change.

B

Diffraction bands become narrower and crowded together.

C

Band become broader and father apart.

D

Bands disappear altogether.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As `lambda_("blue")ltlambda_("red")` and width of diffraction bands is directly proportional to `lambda`, therefore diffraction bands become narrower and crowded together.
