A. It appears that there should be a bright fringe at the location of point D. Why isn’t there? Explain The previous figure is also labeled with points A and B which are at the locations of maxima and points C and D which are at the locations of minimum  For Questions b and c below, you will need to discuss whether each of those minima/maxima stays at the same location, moves to the left or moves to the right and then explain your answers for each B. The slit width is slightly decreased C. The slit separation is slightly decreased.

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
