Question

describe briefly the diffraction pattern that will be observed on the screen due to single slit diffraction by monochromatic light

Answer 1

A single narrow slit is illuminated by a monochromatic source of light. The diffraction pattern is obtained on the screen placed in front of the slits. There is a central bright region called as central maximum. ... If this path difference is, (the wavelength of light used), then P will be point of minimum intensity.

Answer 2

Answer:

A single narrow slit is illuminated by a monochromatic source of light. The diffraction pattern is obtained on the screen placed in front of the slits. There is a central bright region called as central maximum. All the waves reaching this region are in phase hence the intensity is maximum.
