The position of the direct image obtained at O , , when a monochromatic beam of light is passed through a plane transmission grating at normal incidence is shown in figure. The diffracted images A,B and C correspond to the first, second and third order diffraction. When the source is replaced by another source of shorter wavelength

  1. A all the four will shift in the direction C to O
  2. B all the four will shift in the direction O to C
  3. C the images C,B and A will shift towards O
  4. D the images C,B and A will shift away from O
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the images C,B and A will shift towards O

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If d is the distance between slits and θ is the angle between 0th order maxima and nth order maxima, then for diffraction pattern dsinθ=nλ Now, if the source is replaced by another source of shorter wavelength, then sinθ becomes smaller.…
