Consider sunlight incident on a slit of width `10^(4) Å` . The image seen through the slit shallA. be a fine sharp slit white in colour at the centreB. a bright slit white at the centre diffusing to zero intensities at the edgesC. a bright slit white at the centre diffusing to regions of different coloursD. only be a diffused slit white in colour

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Here, the width of the slit is `10^(4) Å`, i.e., `10000 Å`. The wavelength of (visible) sunlight varies from `4000 Å` to `8000 Å`. As width of slit `a gt lambda` (wavelength of light), therefore, no diffraction occurs. The image seen through the slit shall be a fine sharp slit white in colour at the centre. Choice (a) is correct.
