A monochromatic light of wavelength 'λ' is used to produce the diffraction pattern through a single slit of width X. Which one of the following represents the intensity distribution across the screen?
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Monochromatic light passing through a single slit has a central maximum and many smaller and dimmer maxima on either side.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
