Concept explainers
To Describe: The diffraction pattern.
Answer to Problem 68GP
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The width of slit,
The angles of normal,
Calculation:
The path difference between top and bottom of the slit for incident wave is
The path difference between top and bottom of the slit for diffracted wave is
The net difference is zero when
Hence, the central maximum angel at
When the net path difference is a multiple of a wavelength then minima will be
Conclusion: The diffracted pattern will be defined by
