Question

in a single narrow slit diffraction experiment, deduce the condition for central maximum and secondary maxima and minima observed in the diffraction pattern​

Answer 1

Single narrow slit experiment - Conditions for observing central maximum and secondary maxima and minima  

Answer:

a sinθ=(2 n−1)λ/2  

This is the condition for occurring central maximum and secondary maxima and minima observed in the diffraction pattern​

Explanation:

• Diffraction is a phenomenon that happens and is obstructed as light comes across an object.
• The important condition for diffraction to take place is that the light wavelength should be equal to that of the object's dimension.
• If the object's size is smaller than the wavelength of light, it may also happen.
