Q. The width of the diffraction band varies

JamiaJamia 2008

Solution:

Width of the diffraction band is given by $ \beta =\frac{\lambda D}{d} $ where $ D= $ distance between slit and the screen $ X= $ wavelength of light used and $ d= $ width of slit. Hence, width of the diffraction band varies directly as the distance between the slit and the screen.
