Blue light of wavelength λ passes through a single slit of width d and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. If we replace the blue light by red light of wavelength 2λ , we can retain the original diffraction pattern if we change the slit widtha) to d/4b) to d/2c) not at alld) to 2de) to 4d

We can retain the original diffraction pattern if we change the slit width to d) 2d.

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern of a single slit has a bright central maximum and dimmer maxima on either side. We will retain the original diffraction pattern on a screen if the relative spacing of the minimum or maximum of intensity remains the same when changing the wavelength and the slit width simultaneously.

Using the following parameters: y for the distance from the center of the bright maximum to a place of minimum intensity, m for the order of the minimum, λ for the wavelength, D for the distance from the slit to the screen where we see the pattern and d for the slit width. The distance from the center to a minimum of intensity can be calculated with:

From the above expression we see that if we replace the blue light of wavelength λ by red light of wavelength 2λ in order to retain the original diffraction pattern we need to change the slit width to 2d:

i think the answer is a, hope this : )

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
