diffraction and differentiate between fresnal and fraunhofer
diffraction with illustrative diagram.

2. Derive an expression to find resultant of ’n’ number of waves


with same amplitude and frequencies as well as successive phase
difference of δ .

3. What do you mean by diffracting grating? Discuss the diffraction


pattern of diffraction at a single slit and find the angular width of
central maxima. Also show that the width of central maxima is
equal to twice of the width of secondary maxima.

Numericals

1. In Fraunhofer diffraction due to a narrow slit a screen is placed


2 m away from the lens to obtain the pattern. If the slit width is
0.2 mm and the first minima lie 5 mm on either side of the central
maximum, find the wavelength of light.
Answer: 5 × 10−7 m

2. A screen is placed 2 m away from a narrow slit which is


illuminated with light of 6000Å. If the first minimum lies 5 mm
on either side of the central maximum, calculate the slit width.
Answer: 2.4 × 10−4 m
