Q. Yellow light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment with slit width $0.6 \,mm$. If yellow light is replaced by X-rays, then the observed pattern will reveal :

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2001

Solution:

No diffraction pattern will be observed because
(i) X-rays cannot be seen through naked eye.
(ii) If X-rays are not of comparable size to diffract for a slit width of $0.6\,mm$.
