Which of the following statements are correct with reference to single slit diffraction pattern?

  1. A Both (I) and (III)
  2. B Both (I) and (IV)
  3. C Both (II) and (IV)
  4. D Both (II) and (III)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both (I) and (III)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In single slit diffraction pattern, the width of central maxima is larger than the width of maxima on either sides and the intensity decreases rapidly on either side, but the light energy remains conserved.
Hence, statements I and II are correct.
