Q: In a diffraction pattern, what is the effect of increasing the slit width?
Solution:
Increasing the slit width results in a wider central maximum due to the decrease in diffraction effects.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what diffraction is. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings.
Step 2: Know what a slit is in this context. A slit is a narrow opening through which light passes.
Step 3: Recognize that the width of the slit affects how much the light waves spread out.
Step 4: Realize that when the slit is narrow, light waves spread out more, creating a more pronounced diffraction pattern.
Step 5: Learn that increasing the slit width means the light waves will spread out less.
Step 6: Conclude that a wider slit results in a wider central maximum in the diffraction pattern, meaning the bright central area becomes broader.
