In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the central maximum is broadened if the wavelength of light increased.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The width of the central maximum in a single-slit diffraction pattern is proportional to the wavelength of the light source used. As the wavelength increases, the central maximum becomes broader. This is known as the diffraction effect and is a well-established phenomenon in physics. Therefore, option A is correct.
