Q140 / 155 · WBJEE 2025 · Physics

A single slit diffraction pattern is obtained using a beam of red light. If red light is replaced by blue light then

  • A
    the diffraction pattern will disappear
  • Correct answer
    B
    fringes will become narrower and crowded together
  • C
    fringes will become broader and will be further apart
  • D
    there is no change in the diffraction pattern

Solution

Fringe width $\propto \lambda \therefore$ Fringes will be narrower and crowed.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
