MHT CET 2026 Physics question

In diffraction experiment from single slit, the angular width of the central maxima does NOT depend upon

(A)width of the slit
(B)wavelength of light used.
(C)ratio of wavelength and slit width.
(D)distance of the slit from the screen.Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

For a single slit the first minima occur at , so the angular width of the central maximum is . It therefore depends on the slit width (A), on the wavelength (B)
