A parallel beam of fast moving electrons is incident normally on a narrow slit. A screen is placed at a large distance from the slit. If the speed of the electrons is increased, which of the following statement is correct?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Fast moving electrons create electromagnetic waves. So, the diffraction pattern will be observed. Also, the angular width of the central maximum is given by , where width of the slit wavelength of the light . When the speed of electrons will increase, the frequency will increase which will result in decreasing the wavelength as the speed of light is a constant. Therefore, the angular width will decrease.
