Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the slit width in single-slit diffraction?
  • Step 1: Understand what single-slit diffraction is. It occurs when light passes through a narrow slit and spreads out.
  • Step 2: Know that the slit width is the size of the opening through which light passes.
  • Step 3: Realize that when the slit width increases, the light has more space to pass through.
  • Step 4: Recognize that a wider slit means the light waves spread out less.
  • Step 5: Conclude that as the slit width increases, the central maximum (the brightest part of the diffraction pattern) becomes narrower.
