What is the relationship between the wavelength of light and the diffraction pattern produced by a single slit?
What is the relationship between the wavelength of light and the diffraction pattern produced by a single slit?
- Narrower slit produces a wider diffraction pattern
- Wider slit produces a narrower diffraction pattern (correct)
- Diffraction pattern is not related to the slit width
- Wavelength has no effect on the diffraction pattern
