Q: In a single-slit diffraction pattern, how many minima are there on either side of the central maximum?
Solution:
In a single-slit diffraction pattern, there are theoretically infinite minima on either side of the central maximum.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a single-slit diffraction pattern is. It occurs when light passes through a narrow slit and spreads out.
Step 2: Identify the central maximum. This is the brightest part in the middle of the pattern.
Step 3: Recognize that minima are the dark spots on either side of the central maximum.
Step 4: Learn that for each order of minima, there is a corresponding dark spot on both sides of the central maximum.
Step 5: Realize that as you go further from the central maximum, you can keep finding more minima.
Step 6: Conclude that there are theoretically infinite minima on both sides of the central maximum.
