Question
For each statement below, select True or False.
As the wavelength of light hitting a single slit is increased, the diffraction pattern observed on a screen will get wider.
Red light strikes two narrow slits and an inteference pattern is observed on a screen. As the distance separating the two narrow slits is increased, the interference pattern observed on the screen will get wider.
When a diffraction grating is illuminated by white light, the first order maximum for yellow light is closer to the central maximum than the first order maximum for blue light.
Explanation / Answer
FALSE: the diffraction pattern observed on a screen will get wider when the slit is narrower.
TRUE: the interference pattern observed on the screen will get wider IN THIS CASE.
TRUE: the first order maximum for yellow light is closer to the central maximum than the first order maximum for blue light.
