Statement I: We cannot get diffraction pattern from a wide slit illuminated by monochromatic light.
Statement II: In diffraction pattern, all the bright bands are not of the same intensity.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
When slit is wide (i.e., 
), bending of light becomes so small that it cannot be detected upto a certain distance of screen from the slit. Hence, practically, no diffraction occurs.
