If `I_0` is the intensity of the principal maximum in the single slit diffraction pattern. Then what will be its intensity when the slit width is doubled?A. `4I_0`B. `2I_0`C. `(I_0)/(2)`D. `I_0`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`I=I_0((sinphi)/(phi))` and ` phi=(pi)/(lamda)(b sin theta)`
When the slit width is doubled, the amplitude of the wave at the centre of the screen is doubled, so the intensity at the centre is increased by a factor 4.
