Q. The width of the diffraction band varies

CMC MedicalCMC Medical 2009

Solution:

Width of the diffraction band is given by $ \beta =\frac{\lambda D}{d} $ where D = distance between slit and the screen, $ \lambda $ = 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.
