In a single slit diffraction pattern, identify the incorrect statement from the following.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
In a single slit diffraction pattern, the central maximum is twice as wide as the secondary maxima. The intensity of the central maximum is maximum, and the intensity of the secondary maxima decreases rapidly as the order increases.
Therefore, the diffraction fringes have unequal width and unequal intensity.
The statement that the fringes have equal width and equal intensity is incorrect.
Answer: The fringes have equal width and equal intensity.
