If red light is replaced by blue light in single slit diffraction then

  1. A there is no change in diffraction pattern
  2. B diffraction bands become narrower
  3. C diffraction bands become broader
  4. D diffraction band disappear
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) diffraction bands become narrower

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Wavelength of blue light is less than red light: \( \lambda_{blue} Angular width of diffraction bands is proportional to wavelength: \( \theta \propto \lambda \). Thus, diffraction bands become narrower.
