A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern due to the path length difference from light traveling through one slit versus the other. Why does a single slit show a diffraction pattern?
A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern due to the path length difference from light traveling through one slit versus the other. Why does a single slit show a diffraction pattern?
| The single slit must have something in the middle of it, causing it to act like a double slit. | |
| There is a path length difference from waves originating at different parts of the slit. | |
| The wavelength of the light is shorter than the slit. | |
| The light passing through the slit interferes with light that does not pass through. |
Correct ans is option B.
light bends around the obstacles like the waves and this bend cause the diffrection pattern.
