The condition for observing diffraction from a single slit is that the light wavefront incident on the slit should be
- A Cylinderical
- B Spherical
- C Plane
- D Elliptical
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Plane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In standard Fraunhofer diffraction, the light source is effectively at infinity, meaning the incident rays are parallel and form a plane wavefront. This ensures that all parts of the slit are illuminated by light waves that are in the same phase. C) Plane
