Find the right condition(s) for Fraunhoffer difiraction due to a single slit.

  1. A Source is at infinite distance and the incident beam has converged at the slit
  2. B Source is near to the slit and the incidont beam is parallel
  3. C Source is at infinity and the incident beam is parallel
  4. D Source is near to the slit and the incident beam has converged at the slit
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Source is at infinity and the incident beam is parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For Fraunhofer diffraction, incident beam should be parallel. This can be achieved when (a) Source is placed at focus of converging lens. (b) Source is at infinite distance.
