In a single slit experiment, a diffraction pattern is obtained on the screen for yellow light. What will be the effect on the diffraction pattern, if yellow light is replaced by X-rays?
- A diffraction pattern will not be observed
- B number of fringes will decrease
- C number of fringes will increase
- D central maximum will become narrower
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) diffraction pattern will not be observed
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The wavelength of X-rays is much smaller than that of yellow light (\(\lambda_{X-ray} \ll \lambda_{yellow}\)). For a distinct diffraction pattern, the slit width must be comparable to or smaller than the wavelength. In a typical single-slit experiment, the slit width is much…

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups, so the letter "e" was dropped and ther term vitamin is used these days.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues. Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. They must be supplied regularly in the diet as they are readily excreated in urine.
