Question

Violent light of wavelength λ passes through a single slit of width D and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. If the violet light is replaced with red light of wavelength 2λ, the original pattern on the screen is reproduced if the slit width is changed to A: D/2 B: D/4 C: 2D D: 4D E: no change is necessary

          Violent light of wavelength λ passes through a single slit
of width D and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. If the
violet light is replaced with red light of wavelength 2λ, the
original pattern on the screen is reproduced if the slit width is
changed to
A: D/2
B: D/4
C: 2D
D: 4D
E: no change is necessary

Step 1

Step 1: For violet light with wavelength λ passing through a single slit of width D, the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by D * sin(θ) = Mλ, where M is an integer representing the order of the diffraction pattern. Show more…
