MHT CET 2026 Physics question
In the diffraction pattern, the first maximum is at when a monochromatic light of wavelength '' is incident on a slit of width 'a'. For the same wavelength, if the slit width is changed, so that first maximum is at . The slit width is changed by
Answer: (A)
Solution
The first (secondary) maximum of single-slit diffraction lies at . Initially . Finally $ = = =
