Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the order of the first bright fringe in a single-slit diffraction pattern?
  • Step 1: Understand that in single-slit diffraction, light passes through a narrow slit and spreads out.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the central bright spot is called the central maximum.
  • Step 3: Identify that the central maximum corresponds to the order number m = 0.
  • Step 4: Realize that the first bright fringe on either side of the central maximum is the first order fringe.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the order of the first bright fringe is m = 1.
