In diffraction experiment, from a single slit, the angular width of the central maxima does NoT depend upon

  1. A wavelength of light used
  2. B distance of the slit from the screen
  3. C width of the slit
  4. D ratio of wavelength and slit width
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) distance of the slit from the screen

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Linear width of central maximum \(=\frac{2 \lambda D}{d}\)
\(\therefore\) Angular width of central maximum \(=\frac{2 \lambda}{d}\)
