Consider sunlight incident on a pinhole of width `10^(3)Å`. The image of the pinhole seen on a screen shall beA. a sharp white ringB. different from a geomatrical imageC. a diffused central spot, white in colourD. diffused coloured region around a sharp central white spot |

Answer» Correct Answer - B::D As width of pinhole is `10^(3) A = 1000 Å` and wavelength of sunlight ranges from `4000 Å` to `8000 Å`, therefore, sunlight is diffracted on passing through the pin hole. The image of the pinhole seen on the screen shall be different from a geometrical image. Infact, the image of pinhole will consists of a diffused coloured region around a sharp central white spot. The choice (b) and (d) are correct. |
