Yellow light is used in single slit diffraction experiment with slit width `0.6mm`. If yellow light is replaced by X-rays then the pattern will reveal

A

That the central maxima is narrower

B

No diffraction pattern

C

More number of fringes

D

Less number of fringes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Diffraction is obtained when the slit width is of the order of wavelength of light Wavelength of X –rays is much less than width of slit Hence, no diffraction will be observed
