A parallel beam of monochromatic light falls normally on a single narrow slit. How does the angular width of the principal maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern depend on width of the slit?

  • 1

For diffraction at a single-slit the angular width of the principal maximum is inversely proportion to the width of the slit i.e.,
angular width θα 1/a .

    1. The angular width of the principal maximum in a single-slit diffraction pattern is inversely proportional to the slit width. As the slit width decreases, the angular width increases, spreading the diffraction pattern more widely on the screen.
