    $I_0$
  • B
    $I_0/2$

$A$ diffraction pattern is formed by blue light. If the blue light is replaced by yellow light, then . . . . . . .

Through a narrow slit of width $2 \,mm$, a diffraction pattern is formed on a screen kept at a distance $2 \,m$ from the slit. The wavelength of the light used is $6330 \mathring{A}$ and it falls normal to the slit and screen. Then, the distance between the two minima on either side of the central maximum is (in $\,mm$)

The diffraction pattern of light of wavelength $400 \ nm$ diffracting from a slit of width $0.2 \ mm$ is focused on the focal plane of a convex lens of focal length $100 \ cm$. The width of the $1^{\text{st}}$ secondary maxima will be:

In an experiment,electrons are made to pass through a narrow slit of width $'d'$ comparable to their de-Broglie wavelength. They are detected on a screen at a distance $'D'$ from the slit (see figure). Which of the following graphs can be expected to represent the number of electrons $'N'$ detected as a function of the detector position $'y'$ ($y = 0$ corresponds to the middle of the slit)?
