Red light is generally used to observe the diffraction pattern from a single slit. If blue light is used instead of red light,then the diffraction pattern:

  • A
    Will be more clear
  • B
    Will contract
  • C
    Will expand
  • D
    Will not be visualized

Light of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$ is incident normally on a slit. The first minimum of the diffraction pattern is observed to lie at a distance of $5 \text{ mm}$ from the central maximum on a screen placed at a distance of $2 \text{ m}$ from the slit. The width of the slit is: (in $\text{ cm}$)

When light is incident on a diffraction grating,the zero-order principal maximum will be:

In a single slit diffraction pattern,a light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is used. The distance between the first and third minima in the diffraction pattern is found to be $3 \text{ mm}$ when the screen is placed $50 \text{ cm}$ away from the slit. The width of the slit is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-4} \text{ m}$.

$A$ screen is placed $0.5 \,m$ away from a single slit which is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $6000 \text{ Å}$. If the distance between the first and third minima in the diffraction pattern on the screen is $3 \,mm$, then the slit width is: (in $\,mm$)
