Draw the diffraction pattern due to a single slit by a monochromatic light.

Light of wavelength 5.4 xx 10^(-5)cm passes through a silt 0.12 cm wide and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen 2.7 m away. What is the width of the central maxima?

Show that the central maximum in the single slit diffraction is twice as wide as the second maxima and the pattern becomes narrow as the width of slit is increased.

What two main changes in diffraction pattern of a single slit will you observe,when the monochromatic source of light is replaced by a source of white light?

If I_0 is the intensity of the principal maximum in the singel slit diffraction pattern,then what will be its intensity when the slit width is doubled?

In deriving the single slit diffraction pattern, it was stated that the intensity is zero at angles of nlambda/a . Justify this by uitably dividing the slit to bring out the cancellation.

Where is largest sized ozone hole reported?

A parallel monochromatic beam of light is incident normally on a narrow slit.A diffraction pattern is formed on a screen placed perpendicular to the direction of the incident beam.At the first minimum of the diffraction pattern,the phase difference between the rays coming from the two edges of the slit is
