Question

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 : (A) no diffraction pattern (B) less number of fringes (C) more number of fringes (D) central maxima is narrower

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.

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 :

no diffraction pattern

less number of fringes

more number of fringes

central maxima is narrower
