When you look at a single slit diffraction pattern produced on a screen by light of a single wavelength, you see a bright central maximum and a number of maxima on either side, their intensity decreasing with distance from the central maximum. If the frequency of the light is increased, A the pattern shrinks in size. (central maximum less wide; other maxima in closer to it) B it does not affect the size of the pattern. C the width of...

(8.0.10) In class we showed that intensity distribution for single slit diffraction is given by I(θ) = I(0) [sin( β/ 2)/( β/2)]. ( β = ka sin(theta) , "a" is the slit width and k = 2π/λ ). (a) Show that the maxima in the diffraction pattern occur at θ for which tan( β/ 2) = β/2. (b) An obvious solution to this equation is β = 0, which corresponds to the central maximum. By sketching the functions tan(β/2) and...
