Q
Q: What happens to the diffraction pattern when the slit width is decreased?
Solution:
Decreasing the slit width increases the diffraction angle, causing the diffraction pattern to become wider.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what diffraction is. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings.
Step 2: Know that a slit is an opening through which waves (like light) pass.
Step 3: Recognize that the width of the slit affects how the waves spread out after passing through it.
Step 4: When the slit width is decreased, the waves spread out more after passing through the slit.
Step 5: This spreading out of waves increases the angle at which the waves diffract.
Step 6: As a result, the diffraction pattern (the pattern of light and dark areas created) becomes wider.
