In a Fraunhofer diffraction at a single slit, if yellow light illuminating the slit is replaced by blue
light, then diffraction bands
- A Remains unchanged
- B Become wider
- C Disappear
- D Become narrower
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Become narrower
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As we know Wavelength of yellow light \( > \) Wavelength of blue light
Therefore, if yellow light used in illuminating the slit is replaced by blue light then the diffraction bands will become
narrower.
Therefore, if yellow light used in illuminating the slit is replaced by blue light then the diffraction bands will become
narrower.
