CE A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if (a) the wavelength is doubled, (b) the slit width is doubled, or (c) the distance from the slit to the screen is doubled?
Interference fringes in Young’s double slit experiment with monochromatic light are: A. always equispaced B. always unequally spaced C. both equally and unequally spaced D. formed by a portion of the wave front

An interference pattern is produced by four parallel and equally spaced, narrow slits. By drawing appropriate phasor diagrams, show that there is an interference minimum when the phase difference $\phi$ from adjacent slits is (a) $\pi / 2 ;$ (b) $\pi ;(\mathrm{c}) 3 \pi / 2$ . In each case, for which pairs of slits is there totally destructive interference?
