JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Diffraction of Light

  • question_answer
    Yellow light is used in single slit diffraction experiment with slit width 0.6 mm. If yellow light is replaced by X-rays then the pattern will reveal  [IIT-JEE  (Screening) 1999; MP PMT 2002; KCET 2003]

    A)            That the central maxima is narrower

    B)            No diffraction pattern

    C)            More number of fringes

    D)            Less number of fringes

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Diffraction is obtained when the slit width is of the order of wavelength of EM waves (or light). Here wavelength of X-rays\[(1-100\,\,{\AA})\]is very-very lesser than slit width (0.6 mm). Therefore no diffraction pattern will be observed.
