In case of diffraction 1 if ' \(a\) ' is a slit width and 1 is the wavelength of the incident light, then the required condition for diffraction to take place is

  1. A \(\frac{a}{\lambda}=1000\)
  2. B \(\frac{a}{\lambda} \leq 1\)
  3. C \(a \ll 1\)
  4. D \(a \gg 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{a}{\lambda} \leq 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Condition for diffraction is Slit width \(\leq\) wavelength of light \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{a} \leq \lambda \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\lambda} \leq 1\)
