Ratio of widt...

Question

Ratio of width of principal Maxima to the second order Maxima in fraunhofer single slit diffraction is?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student

It is a theoretical fact derived by experiment.
w=λsinθ
y=lλ/a
Width of principal or central Maxima is double that of secondary maxima. Therefore Ratio is 2.
