5 Questions1 MinutesCreated by ExploringLight101

What is the effective distance between the source of light and the screen in Fraunhofer Diffraction?

Focal length of the convex lens

Less than Focal Length of the convex lens

Greater than the focal length of the convex lens and less than infinite

Infinite

How shall the pattern change when white light is used in Fraunhofer Diffraction instead of monochromatic light?

The pattern will no longer be visible

The shape of the pattern will change from hyperbolic to circular

The colored pattern will be observed with a white bright fringe at the center

The bright and dark fringes will change position

A screen is placed 2m away from the lens to obtain the diffraction pattern in the focal plane of the lens in a single slit diffraction experiment. What will be the slit width if the first minimum lies 5 mm on either side of the central maximum when plane light waves of wavelength 4000 Å are incident on the slit?

0.16 mm

0.26 mm

0.36 mm

0.46 mm
