When light is incident on a diffraction grating, the zero order principal maximum will be
- A one of the component colours
- B absent
- C spectrum of the colours
- D white
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) white
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Zero order principal maximum contains all incoming wavelets in diffraction pattern, Hence, zero order principal maximum will be white.
