single slit diffraction Flashcards
what happens to the light in single slit diffraction
it diffracts and The diffraction results in interference between different paths of light, creating maxima and minima on the far screen
how is the intensity graph shown for a single slit diffraction
the central maxima is wide and the tallest
the 2nd fringes are much smaller and only half the width of the central fringe
The single slit diffraction pattern has a central fringe which is…
double the width of the other fringes.
The single slit diffraction pattern has a central fringe which…
has a much greater intensity than the adjacent bright fringes.
what is W
fringe width
In the formula D
stands for…
the distance from the single slit to the screen.
In the formula a
stands for…
The width of the single slit
