What happens to the diffraction pattern when monochromatic light is replaced with white light?
  1. It becomes monochromatic
  2. It disappears
  3. It becomes colored
  4. It remains unchanged

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the diffraction pattern when monochromatic light is replaced with white light?
  • Step 1: Understand that monochromatic light has one color (one wavelength).
  • Step 2: Know that white light is made up of many colors (different wavelengths).
  • Step 3: When monochromatic light creates a diffraction pattern, it shows a single color pattern.
  • Step 4: When you replace it with white light, each color in the white light diffracts differently.
  • Step 5: This results in a pattern that shows multiple colors instead of just one.
