a) In the case of a single slit, what is happening on the screen as you reduce the slit width? How can you demonstrate that mathematically?

b) Why does the slit width not appear in the equation governing the distance between peaks and troughs in the double slit experiment?

1. A single slit produces a diffraction pattern on a distant screen. Show that the separation distance between the two minima on either side of the central maximum is twice as large as the separation distance between all the other neighbouring minima. Compare your result to the corresponding case for a double-slit pattern with very narrow slits. (Hint: use the formula for intensity of single slit diffraction) 2.Two ordinary lightbulbs S1 and S2 are 1m apart, each emitting light waves...

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...
