Consider the diffraction pattern obtained from the sunlight incident on a pinhole of diameter \(0.1\, \mu m\). If the diameter of the pinhole is slightly increased, it will affect the diffraction pattern such that :
- A its size decreases, and intensity decreases
- B its size increases, and intensity increases
- C its size increases, but intensity decreases
- D its size decreases, but intensity increases
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) its size decreases, but intensity increases
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\sin \theta=\frac{ m \lambda}{ a }\) when \(a\) increases, \(\theta\) decreases, width decreases width decreases so intensity will increases
