Wave Optics - Result Question 29

31. At the first minimum adjacent to the central maximum of a single-slit diffraction pattern, the phase difference between the Huygen’s wavelet from the edge of the slit and the wavelet from the midpoint of the slit is :

[2015 RS]

(a) π2 radian

(b) π radian

(c) π8 radian

(d) π4 radian

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 31. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) For first minima at P

APBP=λ

APMP=λ2

So phase difference, ϕ=2πλ×λ2=π radian
