Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few seconds for the simulation to catch up with the changes you made.)

Answer :

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

[tex]x_c= 2D\lambda/a[/tex]

where D= distance between screen and slit

a= slit width

[tex]\lambda = wavelength[/tex]

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of cental fringe becomes narrower as

[tex]x_c\propto 1/a[/tex]

The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.
