What two main changes in diffraction pattern of a single slit will you observe, when the monochromatic source of light replaced by a source of white light

Answer»

Solution :(i) In each diffraction ORDER, the diffracted image of the slit gets dispersedinto component colours of WHITE light. As FRINGE width a λ, ∴ redfringe with higher wavelength is wider than violet fringe with smallerwavelength.
(ii) In higher order spectra, the DISPERSION is more and it causeoverlapping of DIFFERENT colours
